Former nursing sister
FELICITY YOUNG
has no problem ensuring the accuracy of procedural details in her crime writing – her brother-in-law is a police superintendent. These days, when she's not busy penning novels, rearing orphan kangaroos or satisfying her thirst for action and adventure as an active member of the local volunteer bushfire brigade, Felicity manages her own Suffolk sheep stud in a small West Australian country town.
