Marie Seltenrych

Irish-Australian author_

Reading was my passion as a child_ By the age of four I could read my sister's school books, which was a bonus when I arrived at my first school_ My mother taught me well_

Coming to Australia in 1971 changed my life_ I was an experienced secretary (for Irish MP) actress (stage) with several productions under my belt_

Soon I was whisked away to be married_ (and begin my new career as a mother)

Writing became my passion over the years as I had always been a story teller_

After receiving an Award Certificate for a short story in 1996, I finally published my first children's chapter book_ The Gum Tree Gang Mysteries_ Published and printed in Brisbane by Lithograph_

1997 dawned and I published my first adult fictional biography_ "Five Golden Rings And A Diamond" via Sidharta Publishing in Victoria_

Amid my various volunteering efforts (Church and schools) I also homeschooled my children for 7 years_

Once I found the internet I had a goal to write digital books (it seemed a lot less work!!!)

Now I have written in many genres including historical fiction, Christian literature, children's picture books_

I write for those who love to read for pleasure, knowledge, fun, and to find a new way to view life_
