How to contact Juliet
Author Info:
Date of birth: July 27 1948
Birth name: Juliet Scott (my family emigrated from
Scotland. There's also an Irish line on my mother's side.)
Place of birth: Dunedin, New Zealand
Place of current residence: I live in a
cottage that was built around 1900. It's
situated a stone's throw from the junction of the Swan and Helena Rivers in
Perth, Western Australia. Who lives there: Apart
from me, two dogs and a tri-coloured cat.
Family: I'm divorced with four grown-up children
and two grandchildren.
Education: Arthur Street Primary School and Otago
Girls' High School in Dunedin. I have a BA and a B Mus (Hons) from the
University of Otago.
I've worked as a teacher and tutor in music at both university and high school
level. More recently I've worked in the Australian public service. My past
career also includes singing in opera and conducting choirs.
My first novel, Daughter of the Forest, was published in 1999. I've been a full time writer since about 2002.
I now have ten novels in
print. Click on the
Books link for details. My writing is generally classified as
historical fantasy. Some of my novels are more fantastic (the Sevenwaters
Trilogy, Foxmask) and some are more historical (Wolfskin, the
Bridei Chronicles.) My novels are generally published in separate
editions in Australia and New Zealand, the UK, the USA and Canada, and also in
translation in the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy and various
other countries. Click here for publication
details.
My books have won a number of awards over the years. These are listed on the
pages for each separate title under the Books link.
The most recent was the 2008 Sir Julius Vogel Award for young adult novel, won
by Cybele's Secret. To find out about what I'm
currently writing, visit the Work in Progress page.
