Helen CroserHelen has lived in country towns, on a farm, and in the city; and has a passion for writing short stories and rhyming verse. She has won many prizes in both categories. After completing her schooling in a country High School in Western Victoria, Hele trained as a nurse at the Alfred hospital and afterwards worked in hospital theatres, or with premature babies in a Special Care Nursery, in large hospitals in Melbourne. She also taught and practised Reflexology, has written a chapter in a Reflexology text, had articles in Reflexology magazines, and been a guest speaker at an International Reflexology Conference in Hawaii. She has completed several creative writing courses and a diploma of freelance travel writing and photography. Eighteen of her poems have been professionally produced on a CD and 38 poems in a book entitled Homespun Poems from my Heart. Helen always had a great love of words and corresponded with many pen friends and was a prolific reader as a child. She still reads books at every opportunity, especially enjoying medical and rural stories and a wide range of women's fiction. Now her three children have families of their own, Helen is excited to have the time to share her storehouse of memories and life experience. This novel combines elements of life in Rural Australia in the mid 60's, woven around medical and interesting historic information, with unexpected direction changes along the way. Read More Read Less
