Hello, I’m Lan

I am a desk jockey by day and a somewhat manic writer by night. My body resides in Melbourne, Australia but my mind can be, and often is, anywhere.

​Growing up on a steady diet of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Angel, X-men and X-Files, I have a fierce love of strong female characters and paranormal/urban fantasy situations.

​I spent the summer of my youth going back and forth to the library and hauling home novels by the likes of Tamora Pierce, Isobelle Carmody, Laura Ingalls Wilder and S.E. Hinton.

​More recently I’ve added Ilona Andrews, Suzanne Collins and Richelle Mead to my ever growing list of favourite authors.

​My debut series Wind Dancer combines everything I love: action, adventure, horticulture, a strong heroine of colour, and most importantly hope.
