Angelica Banks
Angelica Banks is not one writer but two. Danielle Wood and Heather Rose are both award-winning authors and they have been friends for years. When they decided to write a book together they chose a pen name to make things easy.
Heather Rose
Before embarking on the Tuesday McGillycuddy series, Heather Rose was already the author of three novels for adults: White Heart, The Butterfly Man and The River Wife. Heather started working life as a writer before becoming an advertising copywriter in Melbourne. She has won numerous international creative awards. Her husband Rowan is a songwriter and composer and her three children (now rather grown-up) all love books, reading, art, movies, theatre and music. Heather has a fat cat called Chaplin, two elegant rats called Miko and Komiko, and she lives by the sea in Tasmania.
Danielle Wood
Before Danielle Wood invited Heather Rose to collaborate on the Tuesday McGillycuddy series, she was also an author of an adult novel, The Alphabet of Light and Dark (2002 Australian/Vogel Literary Award), a collection of short fiction: Rosie Little’s Cautionary Tales for Girls. She also wrote the biography Housewife Superstar: the very best of Marjorie Bligh and is editor of Marjorie Bligh’s HOME: Hints on Managing Everything and co-editor of Deep South: Stories from Tasmania. She has recently published a new collection of stories – Mothers’ Grimm. Danielle started working life as a journalist but now teaches writing at the University of Tasmania. She lives with her husband, John, three wild and wonderful children, one smart kelpie called Scout, several pedigree guinea pigs, two rats and many thousands of bees.d
