I'm an author of speculative fiction, fantasy and fabulism for adults and young adults. Writing about strong female leads who metaphorically and literally kick butt particularly appeals to me, as does magic...always magic!My kind of speculative fiction features everything from magical misfits with moxie to fierce and fabulist females. My writing is influenced by my time living in Japan and Europe and their rich histories.As an Australian writer of European and Aboriginal (Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung) descent, I'm also fascinated by culture and identity. I live in Brisbane (Yuggera Country) with my husband, son and too many pets.
