Hi, thanks for checking out Six Skene Street; I hope you find it an enjoyable read. This is my debut novel, and I'm in the process of writing my second, but I believe I first need to give you a little bit of info about myself. I was born in Geelong and spent my early childhood running free in Portarlington ... as Evie does. I'm now divorced with two lovely sons and daughters-in-law, and three adorable grandchildren. After living in most of the places mentioned in this novel I have returned to reside in Geelong once more. In my 'spare time' (when not babysitting!) I love to write, have coffee with friends, paint abstracts, have coffee with friends, draw zentangles ... and did I mention having coffee with friends?
