Fiona McIntosh is an internationally bestselling author of fantasy and historical fiction for adults and of novels for children. Raised in the United Kingdom, she left London to travel and settled in Australia, where she worked in the travel industry: with her husband she co-founded an award-winning travel magazine, which they ran for fifteen years before she became a full-time writer. Her fantasy, published first by HarperCollins's Voyager imprint in Australia and widely in the United Kingdom and United States, includes the Quickening trilogy and the Percheron trilogy (2005-2007); she has since become equally known for historical novels drawn from her research travels. She also runs a series of highly regarded fiction-writing masterclasses, and divides her time between city life in South Australia and the wilderness of Tasmania.
