Kellie Curtain is a former Australian news reporter but an unlikely author. She has a degree in nothing and a short attention span. Throw four children into the mix and she's time poor too.

What will I wear to your funeral? is the book Kellie didn't realise was inside her until she and her family relocated to the Middle East. Her mother's death a year earlier had changed everything. The crushing loneliness was no surprise but what she hadn't expected was to find immense comfort in a record of open and honest conversations she had with her mother in the days before she died. After a lifetime of love the Curtain family were given the gift of goodbye. Starting to write is one thing finishing it is another and Kellie doubted she would, telling no one until it was finished.

Six years on Kellie and her family moved back to Melbourne Australia in July 2017. Happiness is found in family, her tribe of women in the East and West, good coffee and red wine.

Recently she launched a website aimed at Congregating, Elevating and Celebrating the Sistergood because behind every woman, is another one. It's a platform for sharing the stories behind interesting women and recognising those who influenced their path.
