| Introduction | I am Julia Gross, a researcher and writer based in Perth, Western Australia. During my career as an academic librarian I presented at various conferences and wrote numerous journal articles. My book, Building Your Library Career with Web 2.0 was published by Chandos Publishing, Oxford in 2011. I have has also published poetry and travel articles. Since my retirement I have joined the Katharine Susannah Prichard (KSP) Writers' Centre in Perth and a selection of my memoir and family history writing was included in Truth or Lies, the KSP Past Tense Anthology published by Wild Weeds Press (2016). My three works of family history are 'They shall grow not old', Bud's story (2016), Pack your Baggs: a family's journey from Newfoundland to Australia (2017) and 'From Maple Leaf to Wattle: Bede's Journey' (2020) published by Pawlett Press. I started blogging in 2007 with JayGee Library Log but have now let this blog lapse. The other blogs I currently maintain are: Julia's Life Writing, The Group of 97 Book Club and The Perth Bird Diary. My interests are in family history, creative writing, piano playing, literature, birds, cycling and swimming. |
