Charlotte Nash

Charlotte Nash knows first-hand what she is writing about, having worked alongside doctors as a medical student in rural Queensland. She was born in England and grew up riding horses in the Redland Shire of Brisbane. After completing degrees in mechanical engineering and medicine, she fell into eclectic jobs, amongst which she counts the best as building rockets, traversing the Pilbara mines and scrambling over shiploaders in Newcastle. These days, she is an editor, writer and researcher. RYDERS RIDGE is her first novel; her future novels will also be set in rural and outback Australia. Charlotte took part in the QWC/Hachette Australia Manuscript Development Program in 2010.
