edit data

Kim Rigby grew up in the magical island state of Tasmania, Australia.
Initially, Kim dreamed of a life in journalism, but she was sidetracked by a career in the Royal Australian Navy. After 12 years, Kim’s service came to end when she was diagnosed with Lupus and medically discharged in 2000.

Since then, Kim has learned to manage the auto-immune condition, and in 2015 she published her first book The Black Fire Chronicles - Origins. There are currently four books in the middle-grade / young adult fantasy series, and a short prologue.
