Teena Raffa has had a love affair with words for as long as she can remember. Some people can’t do without chocolate. Teena can’t imagine her life without books. An avid reader and lifelong writer, she is now flirting with romance after many years of writing for children.

Teena lives near the beach south of Perth in sunny Western Australia with the love of her life and a golden labrador with anxiety issues and a toast obsession. When she is not reading or writing, Teena enjoys family gatherings, and dabbling in art. She can often be found sea-gazing along the local beach path, or sun-dreaming on the back patio at home.
