Thalia grew up on a farm on the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia. It had a bush area down the back that was perfect for escaping and exploring. After a stint as a dancer she edited websites and travel guides, but her biggest passion has always been writing.

Thalia has published multiple books in the Go Girl! series, as well as a non-fiction book It’s True! Sleep Makes You Smarter! (which is true, in case you’re wondering). She has also published two novels in the Girlfriend Fiction series, Step Up and Dance and What Supergirl Did Next. Her books have been translated into a variety of languages and sold into countries around the world including Brazil, the USA, Canada, Turkey, China and Korea. Her latest book Head Spinners is available in bookshops and as as an ebook now.

These days she lives in north-eastern Victoria with her husband and two children, and their black cat named Bindi. She is currently trying to think up a logical reason why time travellers from the future haven’t popped in yet to say hi.
