Thalia Henry lives in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa New Zealand, and grew up in the coastal town of Karitāne, Otago. Her forthcoming second novel, Sorry Rock, moves between Te Henga (Bethells Beach) and Australia’s Northern Territory, tracing fragile relationships across black sand and red ochre.

​

Her debut, Beneath Pale Water, inspired by the South Island high country, won a Gold Award at the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY) in the Australia / New Zealand Best Regional Fiction category.​

​

Thalia’s work also appears in UK and New Zealand anthologies, including Botanical Short Stories (The History Press). She has developed work for the stage.
