Born in Port Moresby and raised in Hobart, Fay realized that however many people had landed on the moon, dreaming of being an astronaut wouldn’t get her anywhere. Nor, it seemed, would dreaming of being an author – though she hedged her bets by studying engineering, since “engineers make the best science fiction writers.” A move to Adelaide and a career later, Fay is now learning that with hard work, perseverance and luck, some dreams can come true. And if Elon Musk achieves his dreams, who knows, maybe she’ll get to travel to space (or at least the edge of space) after all!
