Demelza

Demelza began her writing career beneath her homeland mountain of Taranaki unaware at the time that her secret messages, forbidden poems and dyslexic ramblings would lead to anything other than the compost bin.

She now resides on the secluded island of Tasmania just south of Mainland Australia. It is here where she climbs tall mountains and swims cold rivers to reach the heart of nature and be ever inspired by people and places to continue to express herself through the written word.

Her first novel ‘All the Birds of the Air’ was successfully published in 2017 followed by ‘Not Quite’ in 2018 a collection of poetry exploring her travels through birth, education, family and food.

Demelza has a deep connection with Tasmania’s kunayi/Mt Wellington and hopes her readers may also discover the joy of nature.
