Satima Flavell

Satima Flavell’s first poem appeared in The Manchester Guardian when she was seven, and she's been scribbling ever since. Trained in the performing arts, she began writing reviews and feature articles for The Australian, Dance Australia, Music Maker and Arts West in 1987. Soon thereafter, she was bitten by a bug that makes people write fantasy, and she now battles with elves and demons for several hours each day. She is now working on the second and third books of The Talismans trilogy. Book one, The Dagger of Dresnia, was published in 2014 by Satalyte Publishing and book two, The Cloak of Challiver, will be out late 2015 or early 2016..
