When she was young, she read fantasy books voraciously and galloped horses bareback along beaches. Secrets at Red Rocks won New Zealand's longest-running literary award, the Esther Glen Medal, and has been adapted into an Emmy Award-winning television series for BYUtv. Her other novels for young people include Song of the Saltings and the multi-award-winning The Grimmeling s. She holds an MA in creative writing from Victoria University in Wellington.
