edit data

USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of science fiction and fantasy novels set on distant planets.

All Gwynn White's stories have an adventure at the heart mixed with a liberal sprinkling of romance and intrigue. To confuse things, she also write adventure travel books set firmly on planet Earth.

She lives in Western Australia with her husband, Andrew, my three daughters, a yapping Toy Pomeranian, and a fantastic farm cat called Pixel. When she's not writing, she's reading, traveling, herding kids around, taking dogs for walks, and avoiding all cooking. ...more

The Terror Of The Lists

Over twenty years ago I started writing a book. This week I published it.

Quotes by Gwynn White (?)

She punched him on the chin, snapping his head back.”

“Lynx stood and raced to the camp. “Attend to our injured!” She unsheathed a machete and made for Hare’s killer.
Heron grabbed her wrist. “Wait. He’s still conscious.”
“Then he will feel my machete,” she replied, voice like ice.”
