Ballarat-based author Jan Davidson, 37, is no stranger to challenges. Born with physical deformities, Jan spent much of her childhood at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital. Yet, from those early struggles emerged a remarkable talent and voice that now speaks to readers through stories that span magical realms and the rich tapestry of everyday Australian life.

What began as a way to escape the sterile hospital walls became the foundation for a writing career that bridges two very different, yet equally compelling, genres.

Jan is the creative force behind the gripping Urban Fantasy series 'The Aztec Saga', Hunted and Tethered, published under the pen name J.S. Davidson, and the deeply human Australian Drama series 'With You', Breakfast With You and the soon-to-be-released Finding Me With You, written under the name Ella Stone. When asked why she writes across such different genres, her answer is simple: I'd get bored sticking to just one.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
