Her parents emigrated to Perth, Western Australia when she was two. She grew up a sandgroper, barefoot and free, roaming the bushy suburbs and beaches with her friends. In the sixties she, like so many other young Aussies, left on a ship for London, aged 17. In the Swinging years she met and married her journalist husband and moved to Paris, learned French and lots of other things and travelled round Europe in a Volkswagen beetle. As a foreign correspondent, her husband was posted to exotic locations and they lived in China, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan in the eighties and nineties. During this time she raised two daughters and taught English. Back in London she went back to school, doing a B.A. in Japanese at The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and a Master’s Degree at Kings College. She and her husband now live in Singapore. It is in this thriving port city-state that she found her muse and began to write, finding particular pleasure in its colourful and often wild past.
