Award-winning author Anna Finch lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she works as a teacher of English and Humanities by day and as a writer by night. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies with a major in Literature and Law and a Master of Teaching secondary.

After participating in NANOWRIMO, she discovered she could write a novel and decided to just go for it—she hasn’t looked back since. Voiceless, her debut novel, has recently won the Firebird 2022 Book Award in the mythology category. She hopes that her Young Adult Urban Fantasy novel will delight Coming of Age readers and adults alike. It is a subversion of the classic The Little Mermaid story. Prior to writing her novel, she had been a serial poet and short story writer.

I'm currently working on the sequel for Voiceless, it's been my NANO project since 2021, and it's still in the drafting stages as I ended up re-writing it as I got a better idea for the plot that was much more interesting. At this stage this sequel is a mystery/urban fantasy novel. I'm hoping to finish the draft this year, with publication the following year but it depends on what my workload is like this year. Regarding your second question, growing up I was obsessed with mermaids and magic, especially Disney's The Little Mermaid, so it wasn't a big surprise for my parents when they found out my first novel had mermaids or magic. My parents were happy for me as I was writing what I loved and that I was putting my work out there. Some adults in my life did imply that mermaids were childish but most adults I talked with were just as excited and interested in the idea as I was. Thank you for your questions. I wish you the best of luck for the giveaway!(less)

I'm currently about halfway through 'These Violent Delights' by Chloe Gong, which I am absolutely loving. I also planning on finishing 'The Deathless Girls' by Kiran Millwood Hargrave and 'Save the Cat Writes a Novel' by Jessica Brody which I started reading earlier this year but haven't finished. (less)

"I was sent a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book with my 5 year old son. As it is a children's book, I think we also need a child's opinion in this review.
