I live in Christchurch, New Zealand and am a novelist, poet, blogger, and lover of story. I post regularly on my Helen Lowe on Anything, Really blog, and monthly on the Supernatural Underground, and tweet @helenl0we.
My first novel Thornspell, (Knopf) was published to critical praise in 2008, and in 2012 The Heir Of Night, The Wall Of Night Book One, won the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Newcomer. The Gathering of The Lost, (The Wall Of Night Book Two), was shortlisted for the David Gemmell Legend Award in 2013.
