Passing herself off as a governess, she found employment on an isolated sheep station in Western Australia where she supervised lessons for three sweet-natured girls educated through the School of the Air. Unlike Jane Eyre, Ann didn’t find Mr. Rochester, but she did unearth the setting for her latest novel,The Biocide Conspiracy.Striking out next for Borneo, Ann exchanged her no frills life in the outback for a mansion in Miri and the pampered world of an ex-pat. With time hanging heavy, Ann wrote her first novel. Tough, tender and unforgettable, The White Amah exposes the shocking practices of the timber logging industry in Malaysia.Ann uses her personal knowledge of the Australian outback and the jungles of Borneo to give the fast-moving action of these novels a unique authenticity. Both books deal with lives lived on the edge, breath taking thrillers full of unexpected twists and turns. For a mystery novelist, inspiration is never far away.ver menos
