Bio
Carmel McMurdo Audsley is an Australian Journalist, Editor and Author who lives in Brisbane with her husband Iain. They both had Scottish fathers, share a mutual love of Scotland and have walked in the footsteps of their ancestors in the country that they love to visit. As a newspaper Journalist and Magazine Editor, Carmel has written and published thousands of news stories and feature articles and has now turned her research skills to digging up the past. 'Ours, Yours and Mines' was her first historical fiction novel in a trilogy about the mining families of Ayrshire Scotland. Her second novel 'Far Across The Sea' published in 2013 continues the story as the main character travels to Australia to start a new life. The last book in the trilogy, 'Faeries, Farms and Folk' was published in November 2014 and goes back to the mid-1600s when many people in south-west Scotland worked the land and led their lives in accordance with the church. It was a time of witch burning and superstition. Carmel's latest novel 'The Undertaker' takes readers to Edinburgh Scotland in 1858 and follows a female undertaker who uses her supernatural powers to catch a serial killer. Carmel now devotes all her writing time to producing Scots News Magazine for ex-pat Scots in Australia, and researching and writing historical fiction. She has recently released a contemporary novella set in Brisbane and the South Pacific. Her next book will be set in Scotland and Australia and is planned for release in 2017.
