About the author
ERINA REDDAN has worked with words, ideas and stories all her life. She started out as a journalist, working in radio and television and was awarded the prestigious Walkley Award for her work as a foreign correspondent at the ABC. She has a Master’s Degree in Professional Writing (University of Technology Sydney) and a PhD in Creative Writing (La Trobe University) on girl warriors and ball gowns. She’s taught politics at the University of Melbourne and creative writing at La Trobe University and Writers Victoria. Erina’s family claims she can glamorise a handful of facts beyond recognition in the service of an entertaining story, sometimes at the expense of truth but always in favour of wonder.

BOOKS
I acknowledge the Wurrundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Yirrganydji peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and write.
I acknowledge that First Nation peoples were the first story tellers of this continent, and that colonisation and systemic racism has attempted to destroy their stories, voices and way of life.
I acknowledge the debt I owe to past and present generations for the privilege I have in being able to tell the stories I tell at this moment in our history.
