About the author

Zara Quentin is the author of Airwoman, the first book in the Airwoman series. She was raised in Adelaide, Australia, with her parents and one younger sister. Zara grew up with a strong sense of adventure, which she inherited from her parents, who took her and her sister on several overseas trips to the United States, Europe, and Asia.

She also inherited a love of reading from her mother. Throughout her childhood she explored fictional places through books, and in particular, through fantasy novels. She’d turn the black and white text on the page into the colourful worlds of her imagination.

After graduating from high school, Zara studied at the University of Adelaide and has lived in France, London, and Auckland, New Zealand. She is always determined to fit in as much travel as possible, spending time in Europe, the United States, southern Africa, Morocco, Peru, the Pacific and south-east Asia.

Zara now resides in Melbourne, Australia with her husband and three children. She is currently working on the next instalment in the Airwoman series.

Reviews

[Deborah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book published as a part of the Enchanted Kingdoms: A Limited Edition Twisted Fairytale Anthology. In the Book it is actually called Enchanted Wishes in the anthology. It is a well done retelling of Aladdin. I especially enjoyed how the author chose to tell the story from the point of view of a Female Genie. It was definitely a non-traditional approach to the story.
