Hiding from her past, Freyja struggles to connect until she meets Cam, who grapples with demons of his own.
About the author
T.S. Simons (Tanya) is a six-time international award-winning Australian author of Scottish heritage whose work blends page-turning storytelling with profound, human questions. Living in the alpine region of Australia, she writes speculative fiction anchored in the values of integrity, sustainability, and community—challenging readers to consider how societies are built, who gets to decide, and what we owe each other.
Her Antipodes series asks: if young people had the chance to start over, would they repeat the past—or reimagine it? The companion Latitude series examines life across different societal models and explores what might happen if science is allowed to determine the human condition.
An Australia Reads Ambassador, Tanya holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, as well as postgraduate qualifications in governance and management, and is an accredited company director. Off the page, she enjoys reading, travel, mythology, and snow skiing while (mostly) being managed by a standard schnauzer, a fox‑red labrador, three rescue cats, two Maine Coon kittens, and her foster Corgis.
She also publishes under the name Freyja Frost (www.freyjafrost.com).
