Dianne Wolfer

It is based on the true story of Fay Howe, daughter of the Breaksea Island lighthouse keeper, who relayed messages for the departing ANZAC troops in 1914.

Lighthouse Girl was part inspiration for the Royal de Luxe The Giants story at the 2015 Perth International Arts Festival and has been adapted for stage by Black Swan Theatre.

Wolfer's first picture book Photographs in the Mud[7] was inspired by a research trip along the Kokoda Track and is used as a reference for international workshops promoting peaceful "Discourse Analysis".

Wolfer completed PhD research at the University of Western Australia in 2017, with a focus on anthropomorphism and Crafting Animal Characters in Australian Children's Literature.

Two novels for young adult (YA) readers were created as part of this study; The Shark Caller[8] and The Dog with Seven Names,[9] both published by Penguin Random House.
