About the Author
Writer, environmentalist, in love with wild places and strange things. Not as young as I would like to be. That's me in the photo in Borneo when I was working on tropical rainforest and bird conservation. The other fellow is a stick insect.
I started off in Australia, a farmer's daughter, but as an adult I lived in North Africa and Europe and South-east Asia, only to return recently to my birthplace. I've been a teacher and a naturalist and, most of all, a writer of fantasy novels. You know - magic and adventure and the weird, books flavored by my life experiences. A sweaty bit of the tropics, an arid taste of the desert, a ancient touch of central Europe; crowded cities and dense forests and sun-baked islands. World building is my forte, storytelling my great love.
I have thirteen books published, in several languages, available in different formats. They have been shortlisted for numerous awards, and have won several, including the inaugural Sara Douglass Series Award, won by the Stormlord Trilogy.
