Paddy Tyrrell

Paddy Tyrrell was raised in Kent, the garden of England, and lived in an Oast House whose round rooms were once used for drying hops. At university, she fell in love with medieval French writing, discovered The Gormenghast Trilogy, and became hooked on fantasy. She has sailed down the Yangste, survived an earthquake in Cairo, and picnicked in the Serengeti. Her travels for work and pleasure have inspired her fantasy world. She now lives in France with a naughty Australian Labradoodle, a jealous cat and a squash mad husband. Their two huskies, Ice and Sapphire, are sadly now gone but are transformed into wolves and immortalised in her book. Lumina is her debut novel and the first in a trilogy.
