As the child of German immigrants, Kyra spent her infancy in the opal fields of South Australia. She now lives in Sydney with her husband and two children. Following a successful career in marketing, Kyra returned to university to study English and pursue her life-long dream of writing, publishing two short stories and earning the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Academic Excellence. The Story Thief is her debut novel, and the culmination of almost a decade of research and writing. Aside from reading, Kyra's passions include art, photography, foreign languages and travel.

Ryan O'Neill, author of The Drover's Wives 'Kyra Geddes artfully weaves literature and history into an epic Australian novel.' David Hunt, author of the Girt series 'A sweeping tale'. - Meredith Jaffe 'It's an ambitious, expansive but well-paced debut novel, with appealing characters and a boldly imagined historical canvas'. - The Age/Sydney Morning Herald
