Meet Esta—a travel-loving Capricorn who’s never one to shy away from belting out Total Eclipse of the Heart at karaoke.

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 fantasy, romantasy, science fiction, SF fantasy, horror, dark academia, thrillers, dystopian and plenty more.

She’s passionate about uplifting diverse voices, championing stories that highlight BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, plus-sized, neurodivergent, and differently-abled representation. You can connect with her bookish adventures on Goodreads.

With over a decade of experience in digital marketing, Esta knows her way around SEO and content strategy—those ever-so-practical skills that keep the adventures (and wine) flowing.
