New Zealand born author Delia Strange was an only child with an active imagination. Her bookcase overflowed with stories of fantasy and science fiction. Her local library was her most favourite place to visit. Always a reader, she hadn't considered writing until a childhood friend said they should write their ideas and stories down. Once Delia began writing stories, she couldn't stop.
