Denise was born in Poland.In 1949 she arrived in Australia, was educated in country Victoria and finally married and settled in Melbourne. On her return from a visit to Poland late in 1999, Denise was persuaded to seriously consider taking up writing. Since she had "always " written poetry and had been copywriting as a hobby/good deed for others ever since she arrived in this country it became quite clear that this was her real goal in life. She just loves putting pen to paper and has been writing Short Story Fiction.

However, poetry has been her love as long as she can remember. The collection of poems accumulated only reaches back to 1978 (the rest has disappeared in the process of moving house 36 times), and would be too numerous to display here.

She loves sitting well into the night when the house is quiet and still, gliding her fingers over the keys, never knowing what she will write next.

Writer and Poet

A Novel is in progress though it had to be put on hold for a time. Denise is once again continuing with the manuscript. The tedious task of translating 'Reflections', her collection of poetry, has been started and is her priority hopefully to be published later this year.
