Maggie Bain is married with four adult children and six grandchildren. She lives in the idyllic coastal city of Hervey Bay in Queensland, Australia. Maggie's hobbies are all types of craftwork and writing children's stories. Telling nighttime stories to her granddaughter was the beginning of writing her first novel, Eliza's Story, which was her first book to be published.

Inspiration for writing about disabilities was a desire to reach out to younger children who found it hard to navigate the stigma of their condition, and a tool for able-bodied children to use to educate inclusiveness and acceptance of others. Maggie is a retired teacher's aide who worked in primary school, supporting students with all types of learning experiences.

“Destiny plays a great role in life. No one can control what happens. Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes, we don’t know why. Sometimes nature has a cruel twist, or it is full of joy.”
Maggie Bain, Whispers in the Breeze

“When Zengie finally spoke, he just stared at his mother and said,

“Why did the henchmen take me away from you? Why did they blame me for all the bad luck?”

Mallee thought carefully about how she was going to tell him. She wasn’t sure how to say it.

“Zengie, it’s because you are different from the other children,” she whispered.”
Maggie Bain, Whispers in the Breeze

“Zengie felt a presence as if he was being watched. He couldn’t shake the feeling of fear from his shoulders. Were the henchmen catching up to him, or was a hungry lion waiting to pounce on him? Could it be one of those animal-changing spirits? Zengie had no idea what that feeling meant.”
