Diane Caney

Diane Caneyの説明

Dr Diane Caney, PhD
As a child, Diane often sat in the arms of an old sheoak, high above the ground, dreaming up stories. She was also an avid reader.

It’s not surprising, then, that she completed a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in English and Literature at the University of Melbourne in 1990, and later a PhD at UTAS.

From August 2011 to July 2013, through Poetry Australia's Cafe Program, Diane was the resident poet at ‘Chado – The Way of Tea’ which was run in Hobart by Dr Varuni Kulasekera (scientist, academic) and her husband, Brian Ritchie (curator of MONA FOMA and bass player with the Violent Femmes).

Diane writes a range of fiction for children and teenagers. Her websites are: www.dianecaney.com and www.overthere.com.au

In 2006, Diane moved to an old sandstone church with her husband, Sid, and their children, Elsie and Fischer. The story of The Time Virus was inspired one day when Diane was sitting in the church's Wishing Chair, making wishes.
