Odelia Floris

I have always been captivated by stories that take us on haunting and extraordinary journeys into far-flung lands or hidden worlds, and that make new sense of the already-familiar or present magical new possibilities. Pair this with an imagination that is quick to turn a towering rock formation into a castle or people a forest path with a dreamed-up knight, and fiction writing was probably an inevitable occupation!

Growing up in rural New Zealand surrounded by beautiful nature provided an abundance of inspiration, which I have been using to create stories and characters from a young age.

When I'm not writing, I love painting and drawing, reading, singing opera, listening to music, gardening, and spending time in the great outdoors.

I live, with my family and cat, on a sixteen-acre rural property on the East Coast of New Zealand's North Island.
