I’m Jackie Tritt and I live in the hills outside Melbourne. I’ve been writing, studying writing and working in writing groups for a few years now. I have a crime novel, ‘The Burning’ published with Virtual Tales in the USA, and I have a collection of short stories coming out soon with Ginninderra Press.

When I’m not writing, I’m trying to keep hundreds of young native trees alive. They were planted just at the beginning of the latest dry spell, but most of them are surviving, luckily.
