Aisling Fowler wishes that she had grown up in a magical, mountainous kingdom, but was actually raised in Surrey on a diet of books and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After earning a BSc in Biology and working as a support worker and then a nurse, the idea for FIREBORN came to her as she moved back and forth between London and the US.

When she is not reading or writing, Aisling loves cooking and plotting adventures (for herself as well as her fictional characters).
