ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Fiona Mitford completed a collection of short stories for her MA at the IIML this year. Moon Babies is the title story. She left city life 13 years ago and now lives on a farm in the Gisborne ranges. There are two water crossings to traverse on the last 4K of the gravel road home, and in winter when the rivers rise, they are often too deep to cross.  She has very much enjoyed being in Wellington at the IIML for two days of each week this year.
