Fleur Ferris spent the first seventeen years of her life growing up
on a farm in Patchewollock, northwest Victoria. She then moved
twenty times in twenty years.
During this time, Fleur sometimes saw the darker side to life while
working for a number of years as a police officer and a
paramedic.
She now lives a more settled lifestyle in Moama, southern New South
Wales, with her husband and three children.
Fleur's colourful and diverse background has given her a unique
insight into today's society and an endless pool of experiences to
draw from. When she isn't weaving this through her latest story,
reading or spending time with her family, you will find her with
friends, talking about art, books and travel.
Fleur's first YA novel, Risk, won the Australian Family Therapists'
Award for Children's Literature, the Sisters in Crime Davitt Awards
for Best Young Adult Novel and Best Debut Book 2016, as well as a
YABBA in 2017. She has also written Black, Wreck and Found for
young adults. Nullaboo Hullabaloo and Seven Days are Fleur's novels
for young readers.
