I love sharing stories about the people and places I have researched.

Do you want to hear about a legendary female bullock driver who drove supplies to the goldfields? What about the actress who trod the boards during the gold rushes and later found respectability in a remote gold mining town? Perhaps you want to learn more tricks of the trade about how to find women in the archives? These stories, and many more are part of a treasure trove of fascinating tales I have pieced together from historical research.

If you would like me to share a story or two with your group (in person or online) please contact me for further details.
