Thalia Henry who grew up in Karitane, Otago, features in the Cloud Ink Press anthology, Fresh Ink. In 2008 she was awarded a place in the Dunedin Write Out Loud Festival for her play Powdered Milk. She used the play as the basis of her thesis for Master of Creative Writing, for which she was awarded First Class Honours. Extending the narrative of that play, and also inspired by the landscapes of the rugged South Island high country, where she spent time as a teenager learning to glide with her late father, Terry, Beneath Pale Water is her debut novel.
