Meet the Author Fiona Palmer

Future Events for Friends of the Library at


Fiona Palmer, author of The Family Farm and Heart of Gold, travelled from her home in rural Western Australia to talk to us about how she came to write her books.

Before Fiona's talk we were entertained by local folk-singers Christy and Jason and their dancing Ruby.

Fiona sat and chatted informally and gave a delightful talk.
There's hope for those of us who can't spell!

Fiona Palmer lives in the tiny rural town of Pingaring in Western Australia, three and a half hours south-east of Perth. She discovered Danielle Steele at the age of eleven, and has finally written her own brand of rural romance. She has attended romance writers' groups and received an Australian Society of Authors mentorship for her first novel, The Family Farm.

She has extensive farming experience, does the local mail run, and was a speedway-racing driver for seven years. She currently works two days a week at the local shop in between writing her next book and looking after her two small children.



Fans gathered around to have her sign their books.
