I'm an Australian writer of Gothic Fantasy and Fairy Tales and a visual artist, exhibiting under my maiden name Georgina Smith. I live on an organic farm in Tasmania, with my husband, two children, and a hoard of unruly dogs, ducks, chickens and goats.

Previously represented by Stills Gallery, Sydney, my photographs can now be seen at Cobweb Designs Gallery, Tasmania.

I'm currently working on my Gothic Fantasy series 'The Taint'.

    The late Joseph Jacobs is one of my favourite Folklorists and I'm delighted to find his books available as ebooks. 'More English Fairy Tales', is a wonderful collection including such stories as; 'Tattercoats', 'The Buried Moon', 'Rushen Coatie' and 'Catskin'. Forget the Brothers Grimm, move aside Perrault.
