WELCOME!
I'm Astrid Scholte, an internationally bestselling and award winning YA author living in Melbourne, Australia with a passion for science fiction, fantasy and everything in between. My books are a little dark, a bit twisty and a whole lot of fun. I work in visual effects and animation and aim to take readers of an immersive journey into new worlds packed full of complex characters.
Are you ready to come along for the ride?
