Che Golden spent most of her childhood in Blarney Village in the shade of Blarney Castle, an ideal spot for a child with an overactive imagination who was inclined to spy unicorns in the woods and fairies in the bushes. As a young girl, she also read Stephen King's novels under the covers by flashlight (they still give her nightmares), which proved to be a great influence on her writing, as have C.S. Lewis's Narnia books and Holly Black's Modern Faierie Tales . Before turning to novel writing full-time, Che was a journalist, ran her own zine and earned a graduate degree in creative writing. She lives in Bath, England. See less
