Amy Clare Macdonald

Amy was born in the same room as Errol Flynn, though in a completely different year.

A recent re-think in career path has Amy following her dreams of being a writer - in whatever capacity that might encompass.

In a previous life Amy obtained a Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology) from Queensland University of Technology. She has worked a variety of jobs including retail, call centre management, finance admin, aged care and child safety case management. Amy has also worked as a volunteer radio host on Triple Zed (Brisbane), a volunteer telephone counsellor for Lifeline, and has also volunteered at a drop-in centre for youths at risk.

As a writer, Amy has had a short story and several poems published. She has recently embarked on a MA (Writing) through Swinburne University of Technology. She is hoping this will open many doors for her as a freelance writer.

As a person Amy's other interests include photography, reading, cooking and organics.

Amy currently lives on the Sunshine Coast, Australia with her two cats Sigmund and Saffron.

She is not a crazy cat lady.
