Skye Melki-Wegner is an Arts/Law graduate from Melbourne. A lifelong fan of adventure stories, she has been writing since she was old enough to hold a pen. Over the years, Skye has worked in a wide variety of jobs — from selling popcorn at a cinema to analysing data for a government department. Her favourite job was based in a museum with a dinosaur display, which helped to spark the idea of The Deadlands. In her spare time, Skye devours a ridiculous amount of chocolate and fantasy literature. Skye’s YA novels include the Chasing the Valley trilogy, Agent Nomad and The Hush. The Deadlands trilogy is her middle grade debut.
Dinosaur lovers and fans will enjoy this series, and it is a wonderful addition to the middle grade sphere. * The Book Muse * Skye Melki-Wegner takes us into the rugged setting in such a descriptive way, and she brings the characters and the emotions of the dinosaurs to life so convincingly that at times you forget they are dinosaurs! Dinosaur lovers will thoroughly enjoy this story, and is best suited to those in lower to middle secondary. * Lamont Books *
