Vanessa Croft is an Aotearoa-based historical fiction writer with a passion for bringing history to life. Born in Australia, her childhood was spent in Nigeria and Papua New Guinea as a civil engineer's daughter, and these remote locations fostered her love of travelling, writing and the natural world. With a background in humanities and research, she is an avid armchair historian with a passion for Victorian-era Aotearoa. She lives in the spectacular South Island on a small farm that once bred Clydesdales and spends her time with her adventurer husband, two teens and far too many books. Where In All the World is Vanessa's debut novel, inspired by her belief that Aotearoa New Zealand's past is rich in stories waiting to be told.
