Martine grew up travelling the world, courtesy of her father’s job as an Australian diplomat. As a child she spoke Italian, French, reasonable Arabic and had a very bad mouth in Vietnamese. Martine has always loved being creative – whether that is writing a story or trying out a new recipe. She is a yoga teacher (25 years in), has written a novel – The Littlest Witch (the sequel is underway), and is back at uni doing a second degree in film.
