Louise Cusack

Louise Cusack is an International award winning fantasy author whose best–selling Shadow through Time trilogy with Simon & Schuster Australia was selected by the Doubleday Book Club as their ‘Editors Choice'. These novels will be released as eBooks in 2012 by Momentum Books.

Louise has been a Writer in Residence at the Queensland Writers Centre, and has tutored hundreds of writing workshops at: the QWC, the NSW Writers Centre, and libraries and schools in Brisbane and regional Queensland.

In 2006 she travelled to the U.S. to present the Queensland government's Queensland Writing Showcase to New York agents and publishers at the very swanky 21 Club!

She has also worked with a production company to develop a computer game for children that unfortunately didn't get off the ground, and in 2009 attended the South Australian Film Commission Crossover think tank in Adelaide to create cross–media ideas and develop projects.

Louise mentors other writers through residencies and her manuscript development business, and lives by the ocean in Queensland where she walks the esplanade and writes, currently using research from her Italy trip to create a lost world adventure rich with the Renaissance detail and romance she adores. Look for that on bookshelves in 2012.
