Author Description

Though fortunate to grow up in country South Australia ? initially on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula in a tiny town where the school had a total enrolment of only eleven students, and later on a sheep and wheat farm in the Murraylands, between the Mt Lofty Ranges and the beautiful Murray River ? in typical teen fashion, L?onie couldn't wait to hit the bright lights of the big city when she graduated. However, a couple of years working in various government departments, including the State History Trust and the Education Department, saw her longing to make her way back to the country. Through a circuitous route (isn't that life?) she now finds herself splitting her time between her home and professional counselling practice in the beautiful Adelaide Hills and the farm where she grew up.
