With sales over two million copies, Di Morrissey is one of the most successful and prolific authors Australia has ever produced. She trained as a journalist, working in newspapers, magazines, television, film, theatre and advertising around the world. Her fascination with different countries, their landscape, their cultural, political and environmental issues, has been the catalyst for her novels which are all inspired by a particular landscape. Di has been a tireless and passionate advocate and activist for many causes from being Patron of the Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre, opposing large scale development and commercial food chains into Byron Bay NSW, to fighting to save the Kimberley from gas and mining intrusion into sacred lands, and, as Patron of the Manning Alliance, stopping massive and unnecessary power lines intruding into the Manning Valley NSW. Di has also established The Golden Land Education Foundation (see details on her website) to raise funds to help build and develop Pyin Nya Yeik Mon Monastic Primary School, Sagaing in Myanmar. Di has two children, Dr Gabrielle Morrissey Hansen and Dr Nicolas Morrissey, and three grandchildren who reside in the USA. Di lives with her partner, Boris Janjic, in the Manning Valley, NSW. Di's titles include: Heart of the Dreaming, The Last Rose of Summer, Follow the Morning Star, The Last Mile Home, Tears of the Moon, When the Singing Stops, The Songmaster, Scatter the Stars, Blaze, The Bay, Kimberley Sun, Barra Creek, The Reef, The Valley, Monsoon, The Islands, The Silent Country, The Plantation, The Opal Desert, The Golden Land, The Winter Sea, The Road Back and Rain Music. Her new novel A Distant Journey will be published in 2016.
