Fiona was born in the beautiful North-East of England near picturesque countryside, windswept beaches and the vibrant cultural city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. She dreamed of writing in a cosy country cottage and of life as a theatre actress but, as it often does, life got in the way.
Amongst her myriad of interesting jobs, Fiona was a television colourist on Home & Away, This is Greece and Secrets of Britain’s Great Cathedrals. In 2020, Fiona became a founding member of the Central Coast’s Words on the Waves Writers Festival, and now works as the Children and Young People's Program Manager.
