Biography

Growing up in a house with few books, Fussell discovered reading and the library when she started school. She studied hard because books were given as academic prizes.
Fussell began writing in 2002 when one of her children stopped reading. A mother-son writing project ended with Fussell being told to "go write your own book".
Fussell works as a computer programmer and is passionate about using technology to encourage reading and writing in children. Her Samurai Kids website has been archived by the National Library of Australia Pandora Project, which provides long-term access to Australian online publications of national significance.
