Vlady Peters came to Australia as a child. Over the years she either studied or joined clubs to help her acquire appropriate skills. This included cooking, dressmaking, soft furnishing, photography, grooming, writing, drawing, public speaking, singing, dancing to name a few.

She embodies the saying - Jack of all trades, master of none - as her interest in cooking, for example, resulted in her hoping that scientists are working on a pill which will have all the nourishment necessary to keep the body alive. So three times a day she can pop a pill without wasting time cooking and eating.

Her books are mainly non-fiction, although as a one-time member of and reader for a romance writers' club, she has written one romantic comedy just to see if she could.

Currently she is trying her hand on a more serious bit of fiction. It seems the fall of civilisation can be predicted. And just as Greece and Rome, rose and fell, so the current civilisation, according to the experts, is showing many symptoms of declining.
