Born and bred in Perth, Western Australia, Fionna was raised on a far too paranormal diet of X-files, Are you Afraid of the Dark, Fact or Fiction and a plethora of other completely age-inappropriate TV shows. This has led to not only a peculiarly open mind, but also a taste for the delightfully wonderful and macabre.

When Fionna is not sitting in front of the computer screen trudging through pain staking first drafts, she is hanging out with her two kids, an oversized pooch and one amusingly logical husband. You can usually find her listening to podcasts, baking cakes, following that black line in the pool, or with her head in an array of books.

Fionna has had her work published in the NSW School Magazine, multiple Anthologies, and won several writing competitions including AWC’s Furious Fiction & the KSP Spooky Story Competition.

The Twisted Trails series is her first self published series for middle grade readers. She also has a middle grade spooky mystery coming out at the end of 2024 with Dragonfly Publishing.
