KRISTIN WILLIAMSON is an actor, teacher, journalist, screenwriter and the author of eight books, including two best-selling novels. She has taught English and drama, lectured at the Melbourne State College, acted in fringe theatre, worked as a freelance journalist, written plays for children.
Kristin worked as a feature writer and columnist for The National Times and served as Chair of the Board of the Australian Theatre for Young people for many years.
She published Princess Kate in 1988, which was based on a screenplay she wrote with husband David, and The Last Bastion, written in 1984, was based on the television series written by David and Denis Whitburn.
Kristin’s novels include Women on the Rocks, Treading on a Dream, Brothers to Us, The Jacaranda Years and Tanglewood..
When her husband playwright David Williamson was asked by publishers to write his autobiography, he gave the job to the person who probably knew more about him than anyone else – his wife Kristin. In David Williamson: Behind the Scenes, Kristin produced a picture of remarkable intimacy, vividness and honesty — a portrait not only of a writer, but also of a marriage and a family.
