AMY LAURENS is an Australian author of fantasy fiction for all ages. She has never seen a fairy or travelled to Sanctuary (sadly), but she has definitely owned a Labrador almost exactly like Veve (though Amy's Labrador was yellow, not brown).

And while she's definitely not a Road Master (pity), her kids are pretty sure she has eyes in the back of her head and a sixth sense for spotting trouble. She hasn't told anyone this, but actually she has two sets of eyes in the back of her head-one because she's a mum, and one because she's a teacher.

You can find out more about Amy at her website, www.amylaurens.com.

Did you know that all cultures are a direct product of their environment? Do you know why? Better yet, do you know how an environment is likely to shape the culture that develops there, in order to make your own worldbuilding both rich and plausible? How To Create Cultures is here to help! In this comprehensively-researched, easy-to-read book, learn all the major biomes and climate zones you can expect to find either on Earth or in your fictional world, and the kind of plant and animal life you are likely to find in each of these zones (and why). Even better, learn what human cultures are likely to look like in each of these zones, and why cultures are likely to evolve this way to survive and thrive in their environment! A complete worldbuilding primer for a culture in any given environment! Use it as a springboard for developing your own ideas, or pick and mix from the options given for a minimum-fuss ready-to-go cultural milieu that you know will feel seamlessly integrated into its environment. Appropriate for authors, gamers, and amateur geographers alike!
