About the Author
Sylvia Kelso lives in North Queensland, Australia, and has been writing or telling stories for as long as she remembers. The Red Country is her third fantasy novel, the sequel to her well-received Everran’s Bane and The Moving Water. She has also published poetry in Australian literary magazines, and has a Creative Writing MA for an alternate-history/SF novel set in alternate North Queenslands. She lives in a house with a lot of trees in the garden, but no cats or dogs. She makes up for this by playing Celtic music on a penny whistle and is now learning the fiddle as well.
