Judy Nunn boasts a long, illustrious, and multifaceted career. After successfully combining her internationally recognized acting career with scriptwriting for television and radio, she turned her hand to prose in the 1990s.

Subsequently, she developed a passion for writing Australian historically-based fiction. Her fame as a novelist has rapidly spread throughout Europe, with her works translated into English, German, French, Dutch, Czech, and Spanish.
Her subsequent bestsellers, including Kal, Beneath the Southern Cross, Territory, Pacific, Heritage, Floodtide, Maralinga, Tiger Men, Elianne, Spirits of the Ghan, Sanctuary, Khaki Town, and Showtime!, have solidified Judy’s position as one of Australia’s leading fiction writers. She has sold over one million books in Australia alone.
