The Amber Legacy (50 page)
Authors: Tony Shillitoe
A project is rarely possible without support, advice and encouragement so I would like to thank Stephanie Smith, Linda Funnell and Robert Stephenson, whose faith and professional input have steered this series.
And I thank Meg for her love and constancy.
‘Writing is much more than storytelling, and much, much more than informing or teaching. Writing is the act of opening your heart in an attempt to touch the hearts of people you’ve never met.’
Entering the professional writing field in the early 1990s as one of Australia’s first locally-published fantasy novelists with the very successful Andrakis series, Tony Shillitoe has become a popular author in the adult fantasy and the adolescent fiction genres. He was shortlisted for the Aurealis Best Fantasy Novel award in 1995 for his standalone classic coming-of-age fantasy,
The Last Wizard.
He was subsequently shortlisted for the first book of the Ashuak Chronicles,
Blood
, in 2002.
Currently a full-time educator at Concordia College in Adelaide, Tony has also, at various times, been a Board Member of the South Australian Writers Centre, a judge for literary awards, and he has conducted a host of workshops and been a guest speaker at many writing events.
Between teaching and writing commitments Tony enjoys relaxing with Meg, rare moments of reading, making noises on his guitar and playing volleyball.
