Both are based on a collection of over 500 letters sent from the Western Front by her grandfather and his four brothers.
Her children’s picture books Granny’s Place and Shearing Time are inspired by childhood memories of her grandparents and life on the farm.

She was a recipient of a 2017 May Gibbs Children’s Literature Trust Creative Time Fellowship. The resulting young adult manuscript Follow After Me will be published in 2019.
