KERRY GREENWOOD.

Biography:

The daughter of a wharf worker, Kerry Greenwood has worked in a variety of occupations, including folk singer, factory hand, director, translator, costumer-maker, and cook. A qualified solicitor, she graduated from Melbourne University with degrees in English and Law, and works part time for Legal Aid in Victoria.
Greenwood wrote her first novel at the age of sixteen and is the author of a series of twelve crime fiction novels set in Melbourne in the 1920s. The protagonist in this popular series is detective Phryne Fisher, a character the author has described as a female James Bond, who is "without guilt, with boundless self-esteem".
Greenwood writes in a number of literary genres. In addition to her crime fiction, she has written drama, historical novels, science fiction and short stories. Her work as an advocate in the Magistrate's Courts and previous experience working with abused women provide a background for her non-fiction books about crime and the law. These include a collection of essays about true crime, and an exploration of the motivations and personal circumstances of women who murder.

Mary began her academic pursuits at the university at St. Lucia in the scientific discipline. After indulging herself with a stint at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research she spent considerable time at Maternity Nursing. Mary then took up her profession as a teacher of science and mathematics. For some time she also lectured and tutored in the Dept. of Modern Languages at JCU and spent six months at Perugia where she gained a Post-graduate diploma to teach the Italian language and culture.
