Lincoln Law began writing books at the age of 13 after a writing task for English class got out of hand.

In the intervening years, he has written no less than 25 novels. Some have been fantasy, some sci-fi, but all of them about young people and for young people.

He graduated from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Arts in Writing and History, and a Bachelor of Communication (Media Production).

He now lives in Melbourne.

In 2017, he was shortlisted for the Ampersand Prize.

When not writing, he can be found lifting heavy objects and patting other peoples’ dogs.

A Crown of Blood is his first published novel.
