Author Biography

Ebony McKenna The decision to leave a career in journalism was a logical choice for Ebony McKenna. There wasn't enough time in the day to write the fictional stories she wanted to tell, against the factual that she had to tell. She followed her heart towards writing science fiction, romance and young adult adventures. Ebony now writes full time and lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband and young son. Ondine: The Summer of Shambles was her first book for Egmont, and The Autumn Palace is her second.
