B
rooke Davis grew up in Bellbrae, Victoria, and attempted to write her first novel when she was ten years old. It was a genre-busting foray into the inner workings of a young teenage girl’s mind—
Anne of Green Gables
meets
The Baby-Sitters Club
meets
Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret—
titled
Summer Sadness
. Fortunately it remains unfinished, as she quickly realized she didn’t know the first thing about sadness, or being a teenager. Once she left those teenage years behind, she completed her honors degree in writing at the University of Canberra, winning the Allen & Unwin Prize for Prose Fiction, the Verandah Prose Prize, and the University Medal. Brooke recently completed her PhD in creative writing at Curtin University in Western Australia and, while there, was awarded the 2009 Bobbie Cullen Memorial Award for Women Writers, the 2009 AAWP Prize for Best Postgraduate Conference Paper, and the 2011 Postgraduate Queensland Writing Prize. She loves
to sell other people’s books, and is sometimes allowed to do that at two very nice bookshops: one in Perth and one in Torquay.
Lost & Found
is her first proper novel.
