Annette Fraser-Dunn grew up in a small seaside town on the northwest coast of Tasmania, Australia. She could read before she could talk and started drawing from the moment she could get her hands on a pencil. She has been a corporate writer for more than thirty years in a range of industries, but her first love has always been writing stories and drawing pictures, particularly about Australia's unique animals. Annette lives in Brisbane, Queensland, with her husband, Bob, and two cats, Cinnamon and George.
