A native of New Zealand, she is the author of eleven novels, four collections of stories, a volume of poetry, a children's book, and her heartfelt and courageous autobiography -- all published by George Braziller.

The fables and fantasies in Snowman Snowman, 'written in a torrential poetic prose' (The New York Times), read like dreams, nightmares, and fairy tales, and are often imbued with a sense of moral consciousness. There is tale of two sheep engaged in conversation en route to the slaughterhouse. In 'Solutions, ' a man cuts off his body to free his mind.
