Originally from Sydney, Australia, R.Aveen now lives in Northern Michigan, USA, with her husband and two cats, Stephen and Caramel.

​

She came up with the idea for this book when still in Australia and chose the south coast locale as it wasn't too far from where she was living. But she started writing the novel in 2020 when already residing in America, which made taking research trips exceedingly difficult. She mostly used memories and the wonders of the internet – luckily, she enjoys doing research.

​

R.Aveen loves animals, reading, nature, bushwalking, the beach, movies, hanging out with friends, travelling and eating delicious vegan food.

​

This is her debut novel.
