Her first young adult novel, a teen romance, was written for 'Dolly Fiction' under the pseudonym 'Anne Holmes', but all her novels thereafter have been published under her own name, beginning with Ghost Boy. Set partly at Sydney's
Quarantine Station, with a flashback to the grisly history of the past, there is now a special
Ghost Boy tour at the Quarantine Station for schools studying the novel. She also signed an option for a film based on the book. Her
Shalott trilogy was inspired by the 'what if' questions arising from the poem,
The Lady of Shalott, by
Alfred Lord Tennyson, as well as the legend of
King Arthur and his knights, and stories from the
Mabinogian. What if it's possible for five Australian teenagers to rewrite the legend and save the life of the 'Lady of Shalott'? What if they find themselves rewriting their own lives and destiny instead? Pulman has also written
The Janna Mysteries now retitled and repackaged as The Janna Chronicles, set in England in the 1140s at a time of civil war. A six-book medieval crime series for teenagers set in the 1140s during the civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda, these novels have been likened to the beloved Brother
Cadfael chronicles of
Ellis Peters. In The Janna Mysteries, a young girl sets out to avenge her mother's death, solving crimes and mysteries along the way, including the mystery of her own birth and identity. There are six novels in the series:
Rosemary for Remembrance, Rue for Repentance, Lilies for Love, Willows for Weeping, Sage for Sanctuary and
Thyme for Trust. The series has been rewritten for an adult audience and published by Momentum Books, Australia under the title The Janna Chronicles. The six books have been retitled: Blood Oath, Stolen Child, Unholy Murder, Pilgrim of Death, Devil's Brew and Day of Judgment. She has also published A Ring Through Time, a 'ghostly romance' set on
Norfolk Island, with a flashback to the
Second Penal Settlement there. A Ring Through Time novel won the Society of Women Writers biennial book award in the children/YA fiction category and, more recently, was given a Highly Commended in the Davitt Awards from Sisters in Crime Australia. It is published by Harper Collins Australia. Most of her novels are on sale through her publishers or on amazon.com in either paperback or e-book format. Pulman has also written nonfiction, including Wally the Water Dragon and The
Little Penguins of Manly, the latter providing an insight into this unique penguin colony and how to protect and care for them. Her most recent novel is I, Morgana, a novel about one of the most reviled, enigmatic and fascinating of all the characters in Arthurian legend. It is published by Momentum Australia. Pulman also writes crime and fantasy short stories, many of which have won awards and/or been published both in Australia and overseas. ==Personal life==
