Louise Ross

Louise Ross is a writer originally from Australia who has lived across four continents since the mid 1980s. She completed graduate studies in Jungian Psychology in the United States and in 2014, she moved to Portugal where she published two collections of interviews exploring the expatriate experience: Women Who Walk (2018) and The Winding Road to Portugal (2020). Her memoir, Slow Blink (2026), marks a departure into literary memoir, recounting her relationship with a stray black cat—a meditation on grief, wonder, and the mysterious threads that connect us across species, across time, and across the veil. Her books have been awarded the 'Indie Books We Love' badge by LoveReading, the UK's leading book recommendation site. She currently lives in Lisbon. Follow her @louiserosswriter
