Have you started your journey into a land of magic and mystery? If you have, give the gift of reading to a friend you think is clever enough to solve the case.

Meet TESS MERLIN, another panelist for the Logan Writers Festival 2023! She brings with her a wealth of writing experience and literary knowledge that you won’t want to miss!

Tess Merlin is an ex-police officer and writer. Her first novel RANK was written from her lived experiences as a policewoman and as someone with personal experience of the trauma of being stalked. She has written and published training resources during her earlier career as a trainer and facilitator and now also writes adult fiction and middle grade fiction.

Tess is a mother of two and a keen linguist in French and Italian. She has a love of the English language, which she has taught in a variety of environments, to both adults and children. She has travelled extensively and lived in Italy and England, incorporating these experiences into her writing.

She writes from the peaceful shores in Gubbi Gubbi country, where she pretends to be a farmer, with several chickens and an impressive veggie garden. She believes in continuously attempting new challenges – most recently fence building and knitting.

The fantastic Mikela Patterson is an exhibitor at the Logan Writers Festival this week!

Why did I write this book? My childhood Librarian passed during Covid. She meant the world to me as a small girl growing up in a small town at the bottom of the world. She came to me in a dream and told me to write a book. I sat on the couch after work and wrote and sketched. This true story written as a Narrative, travels the world to London, Paris, Istanbul and New Zealand, is about not fitting in and sometimes that is your greatest super power. I wish magic and for you to be you. Shine bright little stars. I am a Teacher of Art, English and Inclusive Practise, also a Florist and Author/ Illustrator. I have travelled the world and have settled in Brisbane. I share my story and encourage the next generation of authors to follow their heart.
