Author Bio
–
After
a career in education, Maggie Christensen began writing contemporary women’s
fiction portraying mature women facing life-changing situations, and historical
fiction set in her native Scotland. Her travels
inspire her writing, be it her trips to visit family in Scotland, in Oregon,
USA or her home on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. Maggie writes of
mature heroines coming to terms with changes in their lives and the heroes
worthy of them. Her writing has been described by one reviewer as like a nice warm cup of tea. It is warm,
nourishing, comforting and embracing.
From the small town in Scotland
where she grew up Scotland, Maggie was lured to Australia by the call ‘Come and
teach in the sun’. Once there, she worked as a primary school teacher,
university lecturer and in educational management. Now living
with her husband of over thirty years on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, she loves
walking on the deserted beach in the early mornings and having coffee by the
river on weekends. Her days are spent surrounded by books, either reading or
writing them – her idea of heaven!
