One of Stella’s favourite memories is sitting around a log fire under the African sky sharing stories with family and friends – the sound of laughter and chatter.

She grew up in beautiful, rural Zimbabwe, where she lived through a terrorist war, then moved to South Africa and now lives in Australia. 

Her life journey has been eventful with its highs and lows.

Stella’s characters portray strong-minded women and close friendships. Even when all seems lost they find the determination to endure. 

To Stella, family and friends are everything.
