About Me

I am a writer and rural doctor living in South West Victoria, Australia. As a young girl, my dream was to be a professional writer. I ended up studying medicine instead, and life took a different path. Twenty years of study and four children later, my childhood dream reared its little head. I started a small blog in 2021, and from there, I was hooked. In stolen moments between my medical work and mothering, I have completed writing courses and written blog posts and articles.

By day I am a rural GP and lactation consultant, but at night I love sneaking in some time for writing.  I draft and blog and am slowly working on a novel. I do a lot of planning in my head whilst pulling weeds in my veggie garden.

For my medical work as a rural GP and lactation consultant, I have a separate website at drdeborahcarrington.com.
