About REnae Black

Hi there,

Thanks for visiting my little corner of the big wide web.

This is a place where you’ll learn a bit about me and books – what I love to write and what I love to read. I was one of those kids who was always in trouble for reading under the sheets with a torch
and one of my fondest memories from childhood is my dad saying to me, ‘can’t you at least read outside?’ I definitely have him to thank for my preference for rural fiction!

My family stretches back to at least three generations of farmers on both my mum and my dad’s side. I spent my formative years, growing up on a property north of Wagga Wagga, NSW that bred
cattle and hosted the odd ostrich sale. My childhood was littered with animals – working and house dogs, the odd run in with a brown snake or two, an injured cockatoo, a long neck turtle and later a cockatiel named Harry who called everyone “Gorgeous”. That’s only a handful!

I strongly believe that farm life, and small town living gets under your skin and never actually leaves
you.
