About the Author

Ava Victoria Black was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, and holds an undergraduate degree in History and a master’s in Political Science and Economics. A dual citizen of both Canada and the United Kingdom, she also lived in Japan when she was in high school and speaks three languages, including Japanese.

Her eclectic working life has included a spell in London with an IT company and for a human rights NGO in Cambodia. Nowadays, Ava works in politics by day and writes character-driven fantasy novels in her spare time.

Her first book, War and Scandal, is based on her experience as a woman in the online gaming community and is a fantasy thriller set in the fictional land of Sira, where war is just a game. Until it isn’t. It has a distinctly feminist edge and provides a fresh take on the usual fantasy offerings.

Today, Ava lives in Ontario with her common-law partner and their cat. In her free time, she enjoys martial arts, running, playing video games, and traveling. Being keen on the outdoors, no matter what the weather is doing, she has skydived, bungee jumped, and climbed Mount Doom in New Zealand. She also devotes some time to volunteering and has previously worked with large agencies such as Amnesty International.

As far as the future is concerned, Ava is striving toward a novel that will be successful and enjoyed by many, while creating positive change through her work.
