Stef Gemmill, previously a technical writer and music journalist, swapped the mosh-pit for toys and tantrums to write books for curious children. Her work often reflects her quest to understand the true meaning of ‘home’ after spending a short period in a foster home in her teenage years. Themes of homelessness and change are reflected in her debut picture book, A Home for Luna, winner of the Rubery Book Award (children’s category) 2020. Stef’s other publications include picture books In My Dreams, Toy Mountain and This Drop of Water. The Ghost Horse of Snowy River is the author’s first middle-grade fiction book.
Stef lives in the Victorian High Country in winter and on the Surf Coast in summer with her family and sleepy cat, Luna, the star of her award-winning book, A Home for Luna.
