Iain D. Bridge is an Australian author whose writing spans speculative fiction, fantasy, historical mystery, contemporary drama and non-fiction. His fiction is driven by a fascination with people, places and the stories that sit beneath the surface of both. From ancient folklore and unexplained historical events to imagined worlds and the complexities of modern relationships, his books explore very different subjects while sharing an interest in character, atmosphere and the consequences of the choices people make. His work includes the ALBA: Land of the Sidhe fantasy series, which draws on Scottish folklore and the mythology of the Sidhe, alongside science-fiction, historical and contemporary projects. Rather than remaining within a single genre, Iain enjoys allowing each story to determine its own style, setting and voice. He is also the author of Psittaformes: Breeding of Colour Mutations in Parrots, a non-fiction guide to parrot genetics, inheritance and colour mutations, reflecting a long-standing interest in aviculture and genetics. Many of Iain’s stories began as ideas, notes and unfinished manuscripts written years before publication, including work preserved on old computer disks until the time was right to return to it. Droichead Books has given those stories a home, alongside the new worlds and characters that continue to follow them. Based in Australia, Iain is closely involved in every stage of bringing his books to life, including their layout, presentation
