R.M. Allinson is an Australian author. She grew up in a teeny tiny town called Noorat (which is no longer even officially a town as of the 2011 census) in rural Victoria and graduated from Monash University in 2008, with a very useful Bachelor of Arts degree. After back-packing around Europe and North America in her early twenties, she somewhat accidentally ended up living in Vancouver, Canada for almost 4 years. She’s back home in Australia now, with her Canadian partner in tow, and they now live as slaves to a rescue cat, Gertrude. Along with Canada and Australia, she’s also called Japan and Kiribati home at various points in her life. You can contact her at rmallinson.author@gmail.com https://rmallinson.com
