Karen Kissane is a senior writer with The Age newspaper and has been a journalist for 30 years. She has covered many large and complex stories, including the Benbrika terror trial and has won multiple awards. Most recently, she wrote about the immediate aftermath of this year's bushfires from the devastated town of Kinglake, where she interviewed fire-fighters and survivors. Now she is reporting daily for the paper on the investigations by the Bushfires Royal Commission. Her previous book, SILENT DEATH: THE KILLING OF JULIE RAMAGE examined the psychology of family violence, the laws of evidence and the legal defence of provocation and how they played out in a high-profile crime in Melbourne.
