Biography

Born in Perth, Wester Austalia, I currently live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, after spending three years in Tripoli, Libya. I've patted tigers, ridden elephants, dog-sledded across glaciers, faced down lions in the Serengeti, swum with whale sharks, and camped in the Sahara, but I secretly prefer curling up with a good book.

Inspiration

Favourite writers growing up included Dodie Smith, Enid Blyton and Diana Wynne Jones. As I discovered the fantasy genre, I loved Terry Pratchett and David Eddings. I still like pTerry, as well as Neal Stephenson, Connie Wilis, and Patricia McKillip. Non-genre favourites include Peter Carey, Dorothy L Sayers, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
