About the author
Tanya is a six-time international-award-winning Australian author of Scottish heritage. Living in the alpine region of Australia, she believes in the values of integrity, sustainability, and community in a world where we place greater value on possessions than people. She enjoys posing philosophical questions that make readers think and reflect on the world we live in.
The Antipodes series addresses the question—if we gave young people the opportunity to start over, would they replicate the mistakes of the past? The follow-up series, The Latitude series, examines life in different societal models and considers what could happen if science is allowed to determine the human condition.
