Wooller grew up in Perth, primarily raised by her Scottish mother. She commenced her tertiary education in the 1970s, the era of the second wave of feminism. Her working career has involved the administration of music education, public relations, schools liaison for prospective university students and teaching both foreign languages and English as a second language for adults.
She was encouraged in her early writing and her work commended by the late Elizabeth Jolley. She now writes from her home in Perth and spends extended periods each year in southern Italy where much of her work is set.
Her fourth novel, Trio, was published by Transit Lounge on February 1, 2015.
