Kylie Chan: Blue Dragon

My wonderful husband Jason who is my one-man cheer squad.

Hikari Remora. You guys rock and yes, you do provide me with inspiration, and yes watch for yourselves in future volumes.

All my fans. I’m still a bit bewildered at the concept that I have fans. I’ve received so many wonderful emails and letters and I appreciate every single one of them. Don’t despair, everybody, this is just the beginning of the story and there is very much more to come.

Twenty years ago Kylie Chan married a Hong Kong national in a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony in Eastern China. She and her husband lived in Australia for eight years, then in Hong Kong for ten years. She has seen a great deal of Chinese culture and come to appreciate the customs and way of life.

Two years ago she closed down her successful IT consultancy company in Hong Kong and moved back to Australia. She decided to use her knowledge of Chinese mythology, culture, and martial arts to weave a story that would appeal to a wide audience.

Since returning to Australia, Kylie has studied kung fu (Wing Chun and Southern Chow Clan styles) as well as tai chi and is now a senior belt in both forms. She has also made an intensive study of Buddhist and Taoist philosophy and has brought all of these together into her storytelling.

Kylie is a mother of two who lives in Brisbane.
