Venetia Di Pierro grew up in the city of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. She belongs to writers' groups and book clubs and has a writing and publishing degree. She currently works in the corporate world and wrote The Lines of Happiness in the car on her lunch breaks. She laughs easily, especially at herself, and believes what you set your mind to you can achieve. She can usually be found reading, writing, running, or spending time with friends and family. She thinks the most important thing in the world is love and living every day to the fullest. She lives with her son and daughter, overflowing bookshelves and a few too many pot plants.
