Paula loves all types of creatures, from spiders and snakes to horses and dogs. Unicorns and dragons feature in her fantasy novels as well as presiding in her library at home. Believing that telling stories is one way to help restore the balance between humans and other species, she hopes to inspire fellow authors to include interesting animal characters in their writing. Paula has 7 novels traditionally published and regularly writes for horse magazines. She is a submissions reader for Aurealis Magazine and a judge for the Aurealis Awards.
