Heidi Wessman Kneale is an Australian author of moderate repute who writes escapist fiction. She is fond of Romance and Fantasy, often blending the two, for what is love without a little bit of magic? Occasionally she dabbles in Science Fiction. Whether she writes about Regency debutantes or feisty American Suffragettes, Kneale applies her own brand of magic and wonder with a dash of wry humour. Her books are sure to please fans of Mary Robinette Kowal, Gail Carriger, Patricia Wrede and Stephanie Burgis. In her other life, she has a Masters degree in Astronomy.
