Authors: Sulari Gentill
Sulari Gentill set out to study astrophysics, ended up graduating in law, and later abandoned her legal career to write books instead of contracts.
She grows French black truffles on her farm in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains of NSW, which she shares with her husband Michael, their young family and several animalsâthe farm, not the truffles.
Gentill was announced the winner of the 2012 Davitt Award for Best Crime Fiction, and was shortlisted for a 2011 Commonwealth Writers' Prize for best first book in the South East Asia and Pacific region.
Under the name S.D. Gentill, Sulari writes the exciting Hero adventure series: four young heroes in a quest against myth, magic and betrayal.
