Wellington, New Zealand,
the fifth child in a family of
seven siblings, all of whom
are avid readers. The family
joke was that the children
would “read the back of the
Weetbix packet if there was
nothing else to read”. Her
mother had a love of words
and passed that on.
Always keen on stories and books, Fionna’s first
after school job was in the local library, although
her career as an adult took a different track.
In 2005, Fionna realised she was full of stories just
waiting to be written, and started the transfer
from heart to paper.
Fionna travels as often as she can to research the
background of her books with her partner and
when possible, with her two adult children.view less
