About the author
Moira Yeldon
4 books4 followersMoira lived in Western Australia before being bitten by the travel bug in her teens. A working holiday around Australia extended to New Zealand, followed by twelve years in Brunei, Southeast Asia which inspired her to write her two latest fiction novels, 'Where Sunbeams Fall' and 'Where Dragonflies Dream'. An early love of writing motivated her to complete a course in creative writing and she's been writing ever since.
Caravanning around Australia and travelling overseas have given her inspiration for her writing. Her first novel, 'Chasing Marigolds', a travel memoir was inspired from a trip to India. Countries such as India and the tiny Shangri-La of Bandar Seri Begawan have provided exotic locations for her stories. You may not be surprised to hear that she's currently writing a novel set in Japan.
When she graduated from university and chose a career in teaching, she had no idea she'd spend most of her life teaching everything from computing to languages, communication, religion, philosophy, sociology and yoga. The subject that interests her most is how to live life. It's what she loves writing about most and living every moment to the fullest. Currently she lives with her husband in Perth, Western Australia.
