Michelle Paver

After gaining a degree in biochemistry from Oxford University, Michelle Paver practiced law, but eventually gave that up to write full-time. She is the author of the internationally bestselling Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series for children, published in thirty-six countries. Dark Matter is her first adult ghost story. It arises from her lifelong love of the Arctic, which has taken her to northern Canada, Greenland, Scandinavia and Spitsbergen.
