Born in Sydney and now living in Perth, Monique Mulligan has loved words from the moment she could use them. She's told she used her words a lot as a child, earning the title of family chatterbox (and arguably still holding that crown). Once she could read, she devoured books with gusto - today, that enthusiasm is mirrored in her love of good food.

A former newspaper editor, journalist, children's curriculum writer and magazine editor, Monique has had a varied career in writing. In 2011, she started blogging book reviews. Since 2012 she has interviewed authors onstage for the successful Stories on Stage program.

Monique's first two novels Wherever You Go and Wildflower were first published by Pilyara Press and were acquired by Bloodhound Book

Great question, Tanya! I do. Sometimes you go, wow, and other times, it's a slow understanding that there's a story there.

Recently an old eighty-something man came to my work to buy a concert ticket. He shuffled in, his pants high around his waist and hanging off his frail limbs, and told me how much he loved music of all types. Turns out he even had One Direction music (not sure whether that is a good thing). As he talked, the journalist in me took notes, and later, I turned them into the draft of a short story.(less)

Wildflower by Monique Mulligan
"You deserve to feel safe, supported, and respected! The last comment in this audible. This story touches on a story of domestic violence told through an 11-year-old girls eye. Speaking out or meddling in someone's private life and what went on behind" Read more of this review »
