About the author

 Born in a suburb of Frankston, Victoria, in 1989, Max Davine grew up in Melbourne's inner eastern suburbs, with the first ten years lived in a house which also accommodated his parents, sister, uncle and grandparents on his mother's side. Simply put; he was never short of hearing good storys. Having studied acting for three years with Peter Kalos at the Melbourne Actor's Lab, Davine returned to his lifelong pursuit of writing with a new, sensitive touch and keen ear for language demonstrated in his two previous works; “Terra Domina” in 2012, and “Angel Valence” in 2013, both published by ASJ Publishing.
