Samela Harris profiles actor/author Judy Nunn in "The Courier-Mail". Nunn's latest novel, Floodtide, her ninth, has just been published. She previously appeared on the television soap "Home and Away" for 13 years and wrote in the dressing room while waiting for her time in front of the camera.
"Home and Away was a very good soap. I am very proud of it and I don't believe in biting the hand that feeds you, but if you are in a soap for any length of time, even a year, you can lose your identity." Things have changed. "Now people stop me in the street and say, 'Aren't you the author Judy Nunn? I just love your books'. And, you, know, I just want to marry them. I just love it. It's such a change from 'G'day Ailsa' or 'Look, that's that bird from television'."
