While she is a lovely person, I do not believe she is Aussie. She lived here for a few years. Sometimes it is hard to tell with some authors who move back and forth -- and I've made a judgement call about Evie Wyld being an Aussie author myself recently -- but I cannot see how Hannah Richell is Australian. Happy to stand corrected. :)
