As a teenager, Fiona took two career aptitude tests. The first said she was unemployable, the second returned only one result - coroner. She decided to ignore both (and give up taking aptitude tests) and instead became in turn, an Australian diplomat, foreign and trade policy consultant, theatre producer, home schooler and writer of books articles and plays (and sometimes several of these at once).
She has lived in seven countries on four continents and visited another 20 or so. She now lives in Düsseldorf, Germany, where she writes and directs plays for the theatre company she founded - Blue Goat Theatre.
