Lian Tanner has worked as a teacher, a tourist bus driver, a freelance journalist, a juggler, an editor and a professional actor. She has been dynamited while scuba diving and arrested while busking. She once spent a week in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, hunting for a Japanese soldier left over from the Second World War. It took her a while to realise that this was all preparation for becoming a writer. Nowadays Lian lives by the sea in southern Tasmania.

'Perfect twisty plot and pace, constant laughs, a fresh new world, and characters to cheer: this book made me beam. I loved it!' Jaclyn Moriarty, the award-winning author of the Kingdoms and Empires books'Full of secrets and mystery, with wonder on every page.' Kate Temple, author of The Dangerous Business of being Trilby Moffat'Full of twists and turns and secrets, like the very best kind of book! I loved it!' Deborah Abela, author of The Book of Wondrous Possibilities 'Lian has created an unforgettable mystical world so unlike anything I have ever encountered. I laughed aloud on every page. This is a true delight!' Zanni Louise, author of Queenie in Seven Moves 'This highly engaging fantasy adventure is set in a unique magical world filled with delightful, quirky characters. There are many twists and turns, particularly as it comes to its startling conclusion, but there is also plenty of humour. Full-page illustrations by Sally Soweol Han scattered throughout the text add to the charm.' Books + Publishing 'Spellhound is the first book in Dragons of Hallow, a fast-paced adventure series full of instantly likeable creatures and characters, and packed with page-turning intrigue from the very first lines. This book is such a dynamic read - words jump from the page and the dialogue is delightfully punchy. By dropping little hints that keep us guessing throughout, Tanner completely immerses her readers in the storyline. Dragons of Hallow is a delightfully pleasing and whimsical fantasy series that will be a treat for readers who love Cressida Cowell and Katrina Nannestad. I, for one, can't wait for the next installment!' Better Reading
