BiographyHistory

Chryssoula Zakkas has been a member of the AETOZED Women Writers Group and has published short stories in anthologies.

In her selected work, A Potpourri of Emotions, she says: 'I came to Australia from Greece in 1960. After two months I got married. Year after year my family was growing bigger and bigger... But always there was a tear. The tear from an unfinished dream... I had to do something. So I started writing. When I came to Australia, I couldn't speak any English. Listening to my children, I slowly started to progress.'
