Author Information

Writing workshop presenter Milli Thornton was born in Wallace, Idaho in 1960 and has suffered from fear of writing for most of her life. She migrated to Australia with her family at age twelve, where she discovered that blue means redhead and billy is a tin you brew bush tea in. She sampled a variety of home bases, including Coffs Harbour, Sydney, Darwin, Melbourne, Airlie Beach on the Barrier Reef, and the Blue Mountains. After 25 years in her beloved Australia, Milli returned to the United States to reunite with her scattered family. She lived for five years in the mountains of New Mexico with her husband and two cats, where she ate chimichangas and sopapillas instead of prawns, snags, and pavlova. She currently lives in the Hill Country of Texas with her husband and two cats. Visit the photo gallery at Milli's website to follow her Aussie writing and bushwalking adventures. The gallery and journal records her two-week stint working on the sequel at Varuna Writers' Retreat in the gorgeous Blue Mountains of New South Wales. Admission to the gallery is free: fearofwriting.com
