Sandra Peut began writing stories for her school friends when she was a young girl. A trained dietitian, she has worked in the fields of nutrition and women's health promotion, and most recently in school marketing. Her writing experiences include being a senior writer for an Australian girls' magazine, and involvement with print media in a public relations role. She and her husband have four children in (including 3 teenage boys!), and live close to the beach in regional Queensland, Australia. Blue Freedom is her first published novel.
