BiographyHistory

Liliana Stafford grew up in Sussex, England and completed two years of a three-year Primary School teaching qualification before emigrating to Western Australia in 1970. The next seventeen years were spent raising a family and teaching horse riding while living on a number of small properties in the hills behind Perth. She is the mother of six children. A back injury and other family matters led Stafford to give up her riding school and start writing. She is a member of Subud, a worldwide spiritual community.
