Katie Beitz

I was born and grew up in the South West region of Queensland, Australia. I have spent most of my life living in a small rural town and love the lifestyle that it brings. My writing is often inspired by the rugged and spectacular Australian landscapes as well as my love for adventure and fantasy novels.

I am an English teacher and I love my job. My hope is that every day I inspire my students to love the written word.

I have had two short stories published as part of the Stringybark Awards. The Shadow Miner is my first attempt at a novel.
