ⓘ About Tamsyn Muir
Tamsyn Muir, a Kiwi, has spent most of her life living in Howick, New Zealand, spending time in Waiuku and central Wellington. She lives and teaches in Oxford, in the United Kingdom. She used to believe that being a New Zealander had not affected her writing all that much, either in setting or flavor. Moving to another country changed that. Being in New Zealand physically makes it easier to be a Kiwi writer. While living in the United Kingdom, she keeps coming back to New Zealand in a way she hadn’t in the past. Before her stories would be set in Germany or America, but the first story she sold since moving to the United Kingdom was set in Howick and Whitford. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Best Horror of the Year Books series, Tamsyn Muir has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
