Biography[edit]

An author from Perth, Australia,[1] her fascination with Japanese culture and martial arts began back in the '60s as she watched the adventures of Shintaro the Samurai on TV, which made Japanese history her lifelong passion.

Her video game journalism channel, Lace and Steel is hosted on YouTube.
