Veronica Strachan
Veronica spent much of her childhood lost in a good book. Her favourite place in the world was the local library with any kind of fantasy and sci-fi.
Her dreams of writing were interrupted by the realities of life. Eventually, 20 years after the passing of her 4 year old daughter, Jacqui Bree, she wrote and published her first book. Breathing While Drowning: One Woman’s Quest for Wholeness is about hope, courage and finding your way home, a memoir about her return to life from grief.
Then Veronica unleashed the creative fantasy writer with Ochre Dragon: The Opal Dreaming Chronicles Book 1.
Veronica wrote, and her daughter Cassi illustrated, The Adventures of Chickabella, 3 early concept picture books.
She is the founder and co-host of Australian Book Lovers podcast.
