High School English teacher, voracious reader and Award- winning Australian author and playwright, Margaret Hickey loves a sunburnt country.From our rugged mountain ranges, far horizons and sweeping plains, the Australian landscape is where the beauty and the terror combine for Margaret create her award winning crime novels. During her recent visit to the Mount Gambier Library we chatted about the ups and downs of being a touring author, the juggling act of her synchronous careers, and why this wide brown land will always be the leading lady of her writing life.
