Snowy Mountains Daughter / Snowy Mountains Cattleman

USA Today bestselling author Alissa Callen plays traffic controller to four children, three dogs, two horses and one renegade cow. After a childhood spent chasing sheep on the family farm, Alissa has always been drawn to remote areas and small towns. She is partial to autumn colours, snowy peaks and historic homesteads and will drive hours to see an open garden. Once a teacher and a counsellor, she remains interested in the life journeys that people take. She draws inspiration from the countryside around her. Her books are characteristically heartwarming, authentic and character driven. Alissa lives on a small slice of rural Australia in central western NSW.
