Chasing Unicorns

A lifelong escapee from usually mundane reality, Tasmanian born Roni Askey-Doran has spent her whole life seeking riotous adventure, chasing elusive happiness and craving inner peace, in spite of her tumultuous and often traumatic history. Like a gypsy at heart, Roni’s fascinating life story is peppered with countless significant moments and smile-inducing memories about the times she has embarked on unplanned and wild adventures, grinned madly with unbridled happiness and finally felt the serenity of true peace and, on rare occasions, she has even been fortunate enough to experience all three at once. Throughout all the good and the bad that life has thrown her way, Roni has maintained a wonderful sense of humor which shines through in all of her writing. Filled with passion, sometimes fueled by fiery rage, and powered by her lifelong desire to tell her stories using vivid lexiconic imagary, Roni writes both from her heart and from her own life experiences. Candid and free-spirited, she loves to share her insights and discuss the lessons she has learned on her somewhat bumpy roller-coaster ride through life to date. Roni has lived or traveled in 46 countries over the past three decades and frequently lives under the radar and way off the grid. Despite her nomadic tendencies, she’s an accomplished chef, a talented wordsmith, an avid gardener, a dedicated beach bum, and her wandering feet dance to more than one beat. Like a cat with nine lives, Roni has survived, even thrived on everything destiny has thrown in her direction and, through storytelling, has found a way to share her adventures with a great sense of humor and a writing style that has readers breathlessly turning the page. Roni Askey-Doran is a compelling writer that readers love to read.
