Robb Mason grew up in Australia listening to radio adventures and reading 'The Magic Pudding', Marvel comics, Henry Lawson, Jules Verne, Tarzan, state school readers, and anything they'd let him borrow from the local library. He read 'Lord of the Rings' when he should have been studying, which accounts for his lousy high school results and a fascination with trek and quest novels. Robb has variously been a lecturer, writer, teacher, personnel manager, scholar, labourer, and bulldozer salesman. He has lived in North America, taught English in China, loves 'Star Wars' and shares a house in Melbourne where he follows 'the footy', enjoys cooking, tries to control two cats and maintains a tea addiction. 'Queen of the North Forest' is his first novel. He hopes it won't be his last.
