About Me

I am a writer and rural doctor living in South West Victoria, Australia. As a young girl, my dream was to be a professional writer. I ended up studying medicine instead, and life took a different path. Twenty years of study and four children later, my childhood dream reared its little head. I started a small blog in 2021, and from there, I was hooked. In stolen moments between my medical work and mothering, I have completed writing courses and written blog posts and articles.

​

I am currently working on a writing project called 'Birth in the Bush', a collection of stories and interviews of rural women and the challenges they face birthing in a rural area. This will be published online in early 2025.

In the background, I am writing a historical fiction novel. I do a lot of planning in my head whilst pulling weeds in my veggie garden.

For my medical work as a rural GP and lactation consultant, I have a separate website at drdeborahcarrington.com.
