Autorenporträt
Joanna grew up in England and America. Her secondary schooling was at a girls' boarding school situated in a draughty castle in the English countryside. It was a disorientating experience but one that has proven to be fascinating material for the Polly Watson series. Joanna came to Australia in 2001 to undertake a 12‐month job exchange at La Trobe University and never went back. She has called Melbourne home ever since and now works at The University of Melbourne.She has loved telling and writing stories since childhood but began to hone her craft seriously about ten years ago. Joanna's books are aimed at children and young adult audiences. But they have universal appeal because Joanna's work has at its core a common thread: the strength of the human spirit and the power of love to overcome adversity. "The Woman in White" is the first in a series of four novels featuring Polly Watson and the first of Joanna's novels to be published.
