Virginia King has lived most of her life in Sydney, Australia, but has travelled to many places. The Selkie Moon series combines her love of travel, mystery and psychology in a fast-paced style. Before Selkie Moon took over her life, she was a teacher, an unemployed ex-teacher, a producer of audio-books, the author of over 50 children's books, a writing workshop presenter and an award-winning publisher. These days Virginia lives with her husband and four pet alpacas in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Most mornings she does some yoga, then immerses herself in the next Selkie Moon mystery.
