Kate Jirelle
short stories, drama
Kate Jirelle has been writing since she was a child. The first stories she ever wrote included such riveting titles as Ashleigh the Angel Finds a Tree and Georgia the Giraffe has Diabetes – she likes to think that her writing abilities have only improved.
Born and raised in the beautiful Blue Mountains region of NSW, Kate blames her addiction to storytelling on her family. Some of her earliest memories take place in the living room of her Nanna and Poppy’s house as they regaled her with tales of times and people long since past. If there’s one gift that her grandparents gave her, it was the understanding that no person or experience is ever lost, so long as there are those on earth who endeavour to tell others about them.
Behind Their Eyes is a book written on the foundations of this lesson and serves as a tribute to the private lives and thoughts we all have hidden behind our eyes.
