Editorial Reviews

Review

'Larke has a talent for world building and a fondness for unstable landscapes ... It's also great fun.' - Barbara Davies, Starburst Magazine 'I had serious difficulty in putting the book down... very strongly written and allows for more shades of grey than many fantasy novels do, but also a richly imagined and thoroughly believable world...' - Natalie Baker, The Bookbag 'Glenda Larke writes stories of real consequence, and this is no exception. Powerful, down to earth and filled with the sharpness of the true storyteller, Mirage Makers is entertainment with an edge. Count me as a true fan.' - Russell Kirkpatrick, author of the Fire of Heaven trilogy --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Writer, environmentalist, in love with wild places and strange things. Not as young as I would like to be. That's me in the photo in Borneo. The other fellow is a stick insect.

I started off in Australia, a farmer's daughter, but as an adult I've lived in North Africa and Europe and South-east Asia. I've been a teacher and a naturalist, and most of all a writer of fantasy novels. You know - magic and adventure and the weird, books flavored with my life. A sweaty bit of the tropics, an arid taste of the desert, a ancient touch of central Europe; crowded cities and dense forests and sun-baked islands. World building is my forte, storytelling my great love.
