About

Rosalie Skinner resides on the east coast of Australia when not totally immersed in the fantasy world of her writing.

Her latest achievement has been to ride through the Australian Snowy mountains and see the wild brumbies run. When not watching the migrating whales pass her doorstep she has more humble pastimes.

Other than being a published author, her greatest thrill is being a grandmother. Born over fourteen weeks early her granddaughter’s perfect development and growth are a miracle and joy.

<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">This is one of the best books I have read in a long while!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">The main character &quot;Caleath&quot; is awesome, a total badass who is often also the slightly reluctant good-guy.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">The story takes place in a fantasy world that doesn't over-indulge in complicated names or histories but it's also a sci-fi that you don't have to be a nerd to understand...But don't think for a second that it's too tame or &quot;young reader&quot; . It's full of grimy fighting, power-hungry folks with twisted and dubious motives and a hero who is pushed to the brink of physical endurance and sanity. Think a tech-savvy-futuristic-dude-who-can -fight-like-Spartacus, stranded in a magical world.</span><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"> The result?
