Autorenporträt
Irene is a retired historian living in Perth, Western Australia where she writes historical cozy mysteries. Under her pen name Rennae Todd she also writes modern cozies.Irene grew up on a vineyard and orange orchard in New South Wales by the Murray River, where she was an avid reader, and started writing stories when she was nine years old (including some really dreadful poetry). Now living in Western Australia, she has three children and four grandchildren, and a sister who beta reads her books for plot holes and to see how quickly she can solve the mystery (so far she's not winning). When not writing, Irene reads, watches tennis, plays croquet (old age and treachery will defeat youth and enthusiasm every time) and has a reasonably green thumb, which means very little dies in her garden, unlike in her cozy mysteries.
