edit data

S.J. Hartland is an emerging epic fantasy writer, journalist, and fencer who watches too much TV, spent too many holidays wandering around remote castles, and loves everything medieval.
She is a University of Queensland and Securities Institute of Australia graduate. Susan now calls the Darling Downs, Queensland, home, where she lives with two mad but lovely dogs, Lily and Coffee.
She loves hearing from readers, even if it's to say that she's much too mean to Kaell! She's on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/the19thblade... or email Susan at writersjhartland@gmail.com.
