About The Author
Fiona Lowe
FIONA LOWE has been a midwife, a sexual health counsellor and a family support worker; an ideal career for an author who writes novels about family and relationships. She spent her early years in Papua New Guinea where, without television, reading was the entertainment and it set up a lifelong love of books.
Authentically Australian, her stories are often triggered by a secret or a mystery, and they explore the themes of family, community and second chances. Described as gripping, thought-provoking, heart-warming and ultimately uplifting, Lowe’s books have been praised for their emotional depth. She is the recipient of the prestigious USA RITA award and two Australian RuBY awards.
When she’s not writing stories, she’s a distracted wife, a sage to two adult sons, a rail trail cyclist, a volunteer in her community, and a newly addicted homecrafts ‘show’ entrant. She is often found collapsed on the couch with wine, knitting and her latest love, an audio book.
