Louise Ratcliffe has been many things over the years – ecologist, musician, artist, parent, Burlesque dancer, Drag King and local cryptid. Narration is one of her favourite creative pursuits, born from a love of reading aloud to her children in order to get them to be quiet and go to sleep. She lives down the road from Hobbiton in Aotearoa (New Zealand), has recently become a Grown-Up and is working full-time as a counsellor.
