The Air that we Breathe is inspired by Kara’s birth father’s story, of living in Wittenoom, Western Australia.

For the past ten years Kara has immersed herself in researching the history of Wittenoom. She took a year out of full time employment to complete an advanced Diploma in Creative Writing.  Kara ventured to the outback with her husband in 2018 to truly experience the essence and uniqueness for the Pilbara Region. 

Outside of researching and writing, Kara works full time in leadership development and is also a wedding celebrant. 

Kara Douglas grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand and then moved to Wellington where she currently resides with her husband, and fur babies Lulu and Vino.
