Autorenporträt

Georgina Phelan (née Stones) was born and raised in Tasmania but has recently made the move across the Bass Strait to reside in Victoria. She has a love of history, with the lives of Australian outlaws Joe Byrne and Michael Howe being her main interests in that field. She attended school in Ulverstone and has since studied journalism through Deakin University, and history at the University of New England. Her natural inquisitiveness and perseverance have paid off in her work on An Outlaw's Journal, uncovering many previously forgotten or overlooked aspects of the life of Joe Byrne, particularly in regards to his early life and connections to the Chinese community. She also researches and writes for her website Michael Howe: Governor of the Woods for which she has been interviewed on ABC Radio, invited to present to the Bothwell Historical Society, and featured in Traces magazine and The Hobart magazine.
