Joanne Markey
Hi! If you’re reading this, then there’s a good chance you’re curious to know a little more about me. My mind always goes blank the moment someone says the word bio, but I’ll give it a try.
We’ll start at the very beginning. I was born. Yeah, you’re probably thinking “so what, that happened to all of us.” It did, but the number of people who were born in Bendigo, Australia on the same day I was is probably pretty small and it’s probably safe to say that the number of people who were born on that day who are now reading this is even smaller. So, in that respect, it’s worthy of note.
Then I grew up. And before you say it, yeah I know, you did too. But did you grow up in the Aussie outback, moving from one cattle station to the next as your Dad

Lara Van Hulzen

I'm an author with Tule Publishing. I am all about people and I love character driven stories. I love history and am a curious person who consistently wants to learn. I can't remember a time in my life where I wasn't writing or reading. I had journals as soon as I could write words. And I would get lost in books for hours as a kid. Stories and writing are how I process the world around me, what I see and experience as well as what I learn. I could talk books for hours and am happy to do so with anyone. I also love to sip tea and watch baseball.
