Meredith Swift

I am originally a farm girl, being raised on a sheep and dairy farm in Victoria, Australia, but I now reside in the city of Townsville in beautiful, tropical Far North Queensland. Writing has always been a big part of my life – through my journals and each of my four books (I have also contributed a devotional piece to a fifth book).
Each of my books comes from a foundation of my faith and covers an aspect of my life – struggles with drugs, alcohol, depression, domestic violence, and the challenges of raising a child with special needs. All are available on Amazon and I have been humbled and grateful to have received many great reviews and hear of lives that have been touched by my work.

Accepting Jesus into my heart and being born again has transformed my life, which had a lot of pain and sadness in it. But God has given me beauty for ashes, and He has transformed this pain and sadness through my writing. My hope is that my books give encouragement and healing, and help people know they are not alone in their pain.
Besides my love for Jesus and my family (I have two beautiful daughters) and friends, I also teach kindergarten and love to read. I also love to cook! I am a “thrower”, taking ingredients and throwing them together, creating a taste sensation that is nourishing and comforting. Good coffee, my three spoiled cats and faithful Golden Retriever round out my life.
