About the Author

Deborah Kalin is an award-winning writer of literary speculative fiction. Her major works include the critically acclaimed collection Cherry Crow Children and The Binding novels.

Her stories immerse readers in richly-conceived worlds, where communities are deeply rooted in their landscapes. The psychology of otherness is a recurring theme.

Her writing has variously been described as honest, relentless, “storytelling like a force of nature” (ASIM), and “endlessly surprising and wonderfully disturbing” (Aurealis Magazine).

She lives in Melbourne, on Bunurong Country.
