N. D. Hansen-Hill, a resident of Auckland, New Zealand, began by writing fantasy series, then branched out into science fiction and horror. All Hansen-Hill's novels are suspenseful, and all bear traces of the paranormal. Two titles have been EPPIE finalists in the fantasy and horror categories, and three others were nominated for the Sir Julius Vogel Award. Recently, ND has been concentrating on single titles, rather than series. With a busy schedule that includes work as a professional artist and designer, ND stays in touch with science via university, with classes ranging from anthropology to virology. Email
