Bernadette Piper

I was born in Western Australia and lived in a small country town, Wongan Hills, as a child. Those days were full of adventures running wild and barefoot in the bush. When we moved back to Perth, I was educated at a Catholic Girls' School and worked from the age of fifteen in various office environments, meeting many wonderful people.

After several failed attempts, I managed to save enough to backpack around Europe in the Seventies before coming home to raise a family. I have three grown children and three delightful grandchildren, and I am now back into my writing.

I like to travel. My youngest lived in Berlin for several years, and I travelled there and discovered many stories hidden in the walls and cobblestone streets. He has now moved to Melbourne, so I will be looking for stories there.

I live in Secret Harbour, Western Australia, with my husband. My cranky old ginger cat my daughter rescued has now left us, so I sit alone, creating and having adventures with my heroines and heroes.
