Cecily Anne Paterson was born in Australia but lived overseas with her family in Pakistan from the ages of three to sixteen. She spent time in the city, in the desert, and in the Himalayan mountains, where she went to boarding school for five years.
These days she lives in a tiny tourist town in New South Wales, Australia, with her husband, four children and very cuddly dog. Her hobbies include playing the cello, reading good books, watching good films and not cleaning the house.
