About

Zanni is an Australian romance author. 

She spent her childhood traveling Australia in a caravan with her parents developing a great love of the Australian way of life. Inspired by the rugged Australian landscape, she made up stories to occupy herself during the long drives from place to place. 

Zanni attended thirteen Primary Schools in two years before they settled on a farm in a small town in the Western District of Victoria where she attended the local High School and raised bottle-fed poddy calves and lambs. 

The greatest joy of her youth was riding horses. She joined a local Pony Club, graduated to riding competitive horses on the eventing scene. She went on to work for several years as a strapper with a local racing stable, riding track work and caring for Thoroughbred racehorses.

Zanni struggled with mainstream education due to suffering from Dyslexia. Although she left school at 14 years of age, she credits her drive to overcome Dyslexia to her wonderfully caring year 7 and 8 High School English teacher.  He generously instilled in her an enduring love of the written word and the English language. 

Once mastered, reading gave her the tools to survive a challenging and sometimes traumatic childhood leading her to realise that she has always been an Author at heart.
