A Distant Journey

Di Morrissey AM is a #1 bestselling author of more than 30 novels, making her one of the most successful and prolific writers Australia has ever produced. She trained as a journalist, working in newspapers, magazines, television, film, theatre and advertising around the world. Her fascination with different countries, their cultural, political and environmental issues, has been the catalyst for her novels, which are all inspired by a particular landscape. In 2017, in recognition of her long service to the Australian book industry, Morrissey was inducted into the Australian Book Industry Awards Hall of Fame with the prestigious Lloyd O'Neil Award. In 2019, she was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours list for her 'significant service to literature as a novelist, and to conservation and the environment'.
