About the Author

Ciara Ballintyne grew up on a steady diet of adult epic fantasy from the age of nine, leaving her with a rather confused outlook on life - she believes the good guys should always win, but knows they often don't. She is an oxymoron; an idealistic cynic.She began her first attempts at the craft of writing in 1992, culminating in the publication of her debut work, Confronting the Demon, in 2013. Her first book to be published with Evolved Publishing isIn the Company of the Dead.She holds degrees in law and accounting, and is a practising financial services lawyer. In her spare time, she speculates about taking over the world - how hard can it really be? If she could be anything, she'd choose a dragon, but if she is honest she shares more in common with Dr. Gregory House of House M.D. - both the good and the bad. She is a browncoat, a saltgunner, a Whedonite, a Sherlockian, a Ringer and a Whovian... OK, most major geek fandoms. Her alignment is chaotic good. She is an INTJ.Ciara lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband, her two daughters, and a growing menagerie of animals that unfortunately includes no dragons.
