Thalia grew up on a carrot farm on the outskirts of Melbourne. After a stint as a dancer, she edited websites and travel guides. But her biggest passion has always been writing. Thalia has published multiple books in the Go Girl! series, as well as the non-fiction children’s book It’s True! Sleep Makes You Smarter (which is true, in case you’re wondering). Step Up and Dance, her first book in the Girlfriend Fiction series, was published in 2008. She lives in north-eastern Victoria with her husband, their two children and a black cat named Bindi.
