Author Bio:
Sage Fernly is a Melbourne-based writer who has spent a lifetime wandering the mist-covered hills, fern gullies, and winding village roads of the Dandenong Ranges.
The mountains have always felt like home. Long before a story existed to set there, the Dandenongs were a place Sage returned to again and again – for the smell of wet eucalyptus after rain, a glimpse of a lyrebird at dawn, for the particular warmth of a tea room window glowing through fog, for the sense that every bend in the road leads somewhere worth finding. A wedding in Sherbrooke only deepened the attachment.
The Ravenswood Hollow Mystery series is the realisation of a long-held dream: to write a story that lives and breathes in the landscape that has shaped so much of Sage’s own.
Sage lives in Melbourne with strong opinions about scones, a deep respect for mountain weather, and an ongoing suspicion that cats know considerably more than they let on.
