R.M. Allinson

R.M. Allinson is an Australian author. She grew up in a teeny tiny town called Noorat (which is no longer even officially a town as of the 2011 census) in rural Victoria and graduated from Monash University in 2008, with a very useful Bachelor of Arts. After back-packing around Europe and North America in her early twenties, she somewhat accidentally ended up living in Vancouver, Canada for the past 3 years.

Along with Canada and Australia, she's also called Japan and Kiribati home (if you know where Kiribati is without looking at a map, you get a lollipop) at various points in her life.

When not writing, you can usually find her either with her nose in a book, hiking or skiing in the North Shore mountains, at a gig, tending to her balcony jungle, or stalking the pets page on craigslist and day-dreaming about the day they move to a pet-friendly building.
