F. Mackay
February Masterpiece
Frances Mackay
spent much of her married life moving with her husband through
the east of Australia and
New Zealand. She had many
different jobs ranging from Office manager to prawn header and
gathered wonderful experiences along the way.
A late starter, Frances completed her formal education after her two children left secondary school. As a mature aged student she completed her BA and then returned to study for her Diploma of Education. This changed the direction of her life and for the next eleven years she taught Humanities subjects to secondary students. At the age when most teachers become jaded Frances enjoyed her teaching experiences and has met past students in unexpected places. Now retired, she and her husband, Frank, enjoy life in a small village in outback Queensland, Australia. She has had various pieces published, poetry and prose, on the internet as well as print media, home and overseas. The wildlife in her area has inspired many of her pieces although she does often include personal experiences. Email: fmackay@bigpond.com |
