BiographyHistory

'Maggie is a counsellor, family-dispute mediator, writer and artist who spends her weekends covered in paint and scribbling lists that are never completed. She is a famously mad aunt, nanna and mother who talks to herself out loud and falls over a lot in the garden at her house in northern New South Wales.
'Maggie writes stories with heart and soul for children and adults that encourage kindness, hope and resilience.' (Source : Affirm Press website)
