About the Author

Stuart Wilson lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife and son. An omnivore when it comes to consuming stories, he reads too many books, watches too many films and plays too many videogames. Like Athena, he also chews on his lip when he's nervous. He is now the co-owner of a top-floor apartment. And lots of his neighbours own cats. And there's a storm brewing. So he's just waiting for the right moment . . .
