Best-selling Australian fantasy and speculative fiction author Kylie Chan has captivated readers with imaginative storytelling, compelling characters, and intricately crafted worlds that linger long after the final page. Her work is celebrated for combining mythology, adventure, and high-stakes drama with a distinctive Australian voice.
Kylie is the acclaimed creator of the Dark Heavens series and the House of the North novels, both beloved by fantasy readers for their immersive settings and unforgettable journeys. Her more recent novel, Minds of Sand and Light, explores the possibilities and challenges of artificial intelligence through a thought-provoking speculative fiction lens.
Prior to becoming a full-time writer, Kylie enjoyed a successful career in information technology and business consulting, including a decade running her own consulting company in Hong Kong. That unique blend of technical expertise, international experience, and creative vision brings depth and authenticity to her stories. Now based on Queensland's Gold Coast, Kylie continues to create novels that spark curiosity, inspire imagination, and transport readers to extraordinary worlds.
Kylie will have a stall at the James Lawrence Pavilion. Be sure to also catch Kylie on the CapriCon Mainstage where she'll share insights into the craft of creating rich, believable fantasy worlds.
