Meet Esta, travel and wine-loving Capricorn who doesn’t mind a rambunctious karaoke session featuring Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of Heart.

Based on the south coast of NSW, Esta loves exploring the planet. From hiking in the Tasmanian wilderness to watching baby turtles hatch, she’s always looking for a new adventure with her best mate, professional photographer, John Respondek.

When she's not exploring new places, Esta can be found curled up with a good book. She reads many genres and types of books, including science fiction, SF fantasy, fantasy, horror, mystery, suspense, historical fiction, psychological thrillers, magical realism, classics, contemporary, memoirs, and plenty more. She celebrates diverse and underrepresented voices, including: BIPOC representation, LGBTQIA+ representation, plus-sized representation, neurodivergent representation, and differently-abled representation. Connect with her on GoodReads here.

Esta has been working in the digital marketing industry for more than 10 years, and has a bunch of experience in SEO and content strategy and other mundane but valuable skills that she’s had to learn to earn a living.
