Having a best-selling author in our midst is quite an exciting thing, and when you meet Desley Polmear, you'd find yourself inspired already just being in her presence.

Who is Desley?

With her generous, sunny smile, Desley makes you want to learn more about her. She is Wauchope's very own local author who wrote a murder mystery trilogy - Unlocked Secrets, Just Before Midnight and Payback. The second of the trilogy was even reviewed by the New York Times!

Desley's infectious exuberance and joy for life inspire the people she meets. With her array of interests and skills, conversations with Desley can go from the mighty pen to acrylic painting, ballets or musicals!

Pre-Writing Days

Before she became a writer, Desley had her own counselling practice on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Her intuitive nature is her gift, and it was something that helped her gain insight and help people to lead more fulfilling lives.

She really became a writer when she joined a writers group after her retirement, and since then, writing has become her passion. Desley knows she is in her happy place when she is writing.

➸ Desley’s Trilogy: Unlocked Secrets, Just Before Midnight, Payback.

Inspiring Many

Besides the trilogy, Desley has written two other novels, Shattered and Fractured Souls.

Beyond fiction, Desley has also written an inspirational verse book, an autobiography as well as made contributions to local anthologies.

She keeps herself busy with workshops on the art of fiction writing, and you can often find her at libraries, book clubs, VIEW and Probus clubs or grassroots writers festivals.

Inspiring others to find their own writing journey is her calling now, and you can listen to the stories behind the storyteller:
