Kerrie O'Connor has been a journalist for nearly 30 years. Her career has spanned print and radio and she has won awards for investigative reporting. She left ABC Radio to answer the call of the Telares series, which she says has been bubbling away inside her for years since she travelled to war-torn Eritrea and made a series of documentaries for Radio National.

 

'A terrific adventure tale for both boys and girls...a whirlwind of fun and fantasy.'Single Parent BibleOctober 2006'Kerrie O'Connor clearly intends more than a ripping, page-turning adventure (which it is).
