About the Author

Shona Barton is an Australian romantasy and romance author who writes emotionally rich stories where magic runs deep, love is rarely simple, and ordinary people discover extraordinary strength.

Her debut novel, Of Earth and Gold, launched the Elemental Fae series — a sweeping romantasy saga blending elemental magic, dangerous fae politics, powerful heroines, and the enduring pull between the human and fae realms.

Shona’s stories explore themes of love, resilience, family, and destiny, often following characters who must rise beyond their fears to claim their power.

Alongside the Elemental Fae series, Shona is currently developing additional romance and fantasy projects, expanding her catalogue of character-driven stories filled with magic, emotion, and unforgettable worlds.

Based in Queensland, Australia, Shona balances writing with family life and a love of creativity, storytelling, and building a welcoming community of readers who share a passion for romance and fantasy.

When she’s not writing, you’ll likely find her surrounded by coffee, notebooks, plants, and an ever-growing list of imaginary worlds waiting to be explored.
