About The Author
Carolyn Enting was born in Lower Hutt, New Zealand and grew up in a rural bush setting on Blue Mountains Road, Upper Hutt overlooking the Tararua mountain ranges. The family home, built in the early 1970s by her parents, had floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the high stud lounge that spanned two levels. The lounge also housed a tree trunk at its centre upon which a mezzanine platform with more bookshelves perched – like a floating tree house library. Many solitary hours in her childhood were spent reading fantasy and detective novels as well as writing stories dreamed up in her imagination, and exploring the bush and surrounding farm country.
Enting lives in Auckland and is associate editor of MiNDFOOD magazine. Prior to moving to MiNDFOOD in 2012, she worked for The Dominion Post in Wellington for 11 years as a feature writer and fashion editor.
Other titles she has worked for as a journalist include the New Zealand Army News and Upper Hutt Leader.
In November 2013 she received the Star Beauty Outstanding Contribution to Beauty Journalism – New Zealand award at the beautydirectory Star Awards in Sydney, Australia where she was recognised for her high standards in fashion and beauty journalism.
The Medallion of Auratus is her debut novel.
