Kathleen Denigan

Kathleen was born in Victoria but as a child moved to the Northern Territory where she experienced a multi-cultural upbringing.

Kathleen's first book Norman Baird – a spark within is a non-fiction fully illustrated biography of an Aboriginal Australian Anzac, Norman Baird (1888-1970). It provides an insight into Queensland’s draconian legislation which controlled all aspects of an Aboriginal person’s life including their ability to marry, travel, own property and raise children.

Her second book Reflections in Yarrabah was launched on 30 September 2008.

She has been based in Far North Queensland for 15 years.
