Yvonne Marsh - My Story Local author Yvonne Marsh has always loved writing, music and dogs. Born and bred in Brisbane, Meanjin, Yvonne travelled to Canberra to study arts-law at the ANU.

Her life’s happiness centres around family and close friends, particularly her three kids. Add three beloved big poodles to the mix and life can get pretty hectic. Yvonne’s first novel, Still Life, was published by Ginninderra Press in Canberra. Her recent novel, Raff’s Road Where Magic Happens, is for children aged 6 to 11 years.
