Having grown up in Sydney, Philippa (aka Pip) now lives on the Central Coast with her lovely husband and three – often lovely – children.

Pip has had many a job over the years: a checkout-chick at Best and Less, a Pizza Hut 'waitress' (girls weren't allowed to actually make the pizzas in the 80s – not that that stopped her!), a Playbill girl (Programs! Get your programs!) and a funeral singer, just to name a few.

In the real world, she's an educator, teaching and lecturing in Inclusion and Diversity.

Her Great Aunty was an Olympian, her dad invented Pavlova Magic and in her spare time she paints pictures on the wall.

She loves partaking in a good cocktail (especially with Steve, all-round good guy husband and ADHD security blanket), staying in her pjs all day and setting her fingers happily tapping along the keyboard with her writing friends. 

Grab a cocktail, put your feet up and enjoy!
