Melbourne-based author Louise Wilson achieved First Class Honours in History in the old NSW Leaving Certificate but focused on mathematics at the University of Sydney and became the first woman in Australia to embark on a professional career in banking. After a multi-faceted career in finance and economics, she became intrigued by her own connection to a First Fleet settler of Australia and has now returned to her teenage passion. She enjoys bringing previously untold aspects of Australia's fascinating history to life in readable non-fiction stories based on meticulous research. Of her seven published books, three are acclaimed titles about early convict settlers of the Hawkesbury district near Sydney, including Robert Forrester, First Fleeter. Louise's most recent book Brothers in Arms is an emotionally engaging account of the Great War, told by her grandmother's brothers in letters held at the Australian War Memorial. Margaret Flockton: A fragrant memory explores the life of the distinguished botanical artist Margaret Flockton, whom Louise knew in early childhood as her 'Aunt Mog'.
