Author
Andrea Thompson is a music journalist, artist manager and promoter. Born in the north of England in the Swinging Sixties, Andrea has worked through a range of jobs including trades assistant in the north-west of Western Australia, factory worker, teacher and public servant, but her one constant is writing. Whenever the world makes her doubt herself, Andrea writes her way through the uncertainty. Geraldine began as a memoir. When Andrea discovered by accident that every other gender-diverse person in the world was also writing a memoir, she switched her focus and began writing for a central character who taught her the value and peace of the ordinary, and to never give up the fight.
Book
Geraldine
The story of a woman who changes the world that wants to change her.
Geraldine is born with an adventurer’s heart. Whether it is sneaking out of home in Yorkshire, escaping from boarding school in Rhodesia, or buying hormones from the local speed dealer in Weston-Super-Mare, Geraldine is wide open to all the world has to offer – even if the world doesn’t know what to make of Geraldine.
Arriving in Australia as an adolescent, Geraldine will use music as the key to unlock her soul. And as a woman, she will find a way to inspire others, and to be accepted for herself.
