Jacqueline Cooke is a member of the Australian Society of Authors and the Fellowship of Australian Writers Tasmania—the island state of Australia. Her work has been broadcast on the BBC World Service and the ABC. She has been successful in intrastate, interstate and international short story and poetry awards and competitions and is published in anthologies, art magazines and literary journals. A former High School principal, her love of words comes from her father who worked down the pits in the English Midlands and who "made-up" the most wonderful stories.
