Olivia Lorenz lives in the South Island of New Zealand. She was formerly a Classical archaeologist and has excavated sites in the UK and Greece. She’s published a number of academic articles and books, and has been writing fiction for fun since she and her friends used to swap stories at the back of English class. An award-winning slash writer, her stories have been translated into several languages.
A former resident of Edinburgh, Scotland, her dubious claim to fame is that she used to go for coffee in Nicholson’s at the same time as J K Rowling was writing the first Harry Potter book on the other side of the room.
She speaks a number of dead languages with varying degrees of fluency, and travels extensively in search of inspiration for her stories. She loves baking and is attempting to become a domestic goddess a la Nigella Lawson.
