ⓘ About Di Morrissey
Di Morrissey is one of the most successful and prolific authors that Australia has ever introduced to the world. She published her first book in 1991 with great success and went on to reproduce that tremendous success at least 20 times over the intervening years. She was inducted into the Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIA) Hall of Fame in 2017. She also received the Lloyd O’Neil Award for service to the Australian book industry. That honor was presented by her friend and fellow author, Tom Keneally. Di Morrissey was born in Wingham, New South Wales on March 18, 1943. However, a few years later, when she was five years old, her parents moved to Pittwater, in the northern part of Sydney, which she described as “remote and magical.” She actually grew up without a father. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Di Morrissey has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
