Moonbeam Tracks

The author, of Icelandic and German heritage was born in a small town in the province of Saskatchewan in the middle of the Canadian prairie. It was a care free life spent close to the land. During the long winter evenings she read extensively and it was through this that she developed a love of poetry. Her early education was in a small country school where she shared a classroom and teacher with three other grades. Further schooling led to tertiary studies, a medical degree from McGill University in Montreal and later, a specialist qualification. Her career was spent practising in teaching hospitals. It was on moving to Australia with her daughter, son and Australian husband that she encountered a very different natural environment and a whole new set of bush creatures. She lives in Melbourne with her husband. She has a daughter, daughter in law and three grandsons. Her leisure interests include gardening, music, travel and handicrafts.
