About the Author

Karen Healey was born in Whangarei, New Zealand, and has lived in lots of places since, including Oamaru, Christchurch, Tokyo, Fuchu, and Melbourne.

She is the author of the award-winning young adult urban fantasy, "Guardian of the Dead", "The Shattering", "When We Wake," and "While We Run".

She likes baking, "World of Warcraft", and tripartite sentences. She used to want to be a dinosaur-hunting cowgirl, but it turned out she was much better at being a teacher, so she does that instead.
