Teena Raffa-Mulligan

Teena writes tales to entertain children of all ages and her publications include poems, short stories, picture books and novels. Her first published picture book was a stranger danger tale about an elephant and a tiger (You don’t Know Me? republished in a revised, reillustrated edition called Jimbo! Don’t go!) that brought her five minutes of fame and introduced her to the joy of sharing her passion for writing with others.

She has been presenting talks, workshops and seminars for children and adults ever since and all her presentations have a strong focus on inspiration and encouragement. Teena also enjoyed a long career in journalism before retiring to focus on fiction. She lives in a coastal city south of Perth, Western Australia and has three grown-up children with families of their own who provide plenty of inspiration for new stories.
