About the Author

Shirley Marr is a first-generation Chinese-Australian and author of young adult and children's fiction. It was while writing a very dry PhD on accounting that she realised she'd rather be writing down her dark, twisted daydreams instead. She is still an accountant by day, but now a masked writer by night.
