About the Author

Karen Hughes is the author of the new 'Kalika Magic' series for children aged 9+, exploring themes of courage, resilience, and the power of imagination. With degrees in Law, Asian Studies, and Naturopathy, Karen practised as a lawyer in Canberra for almost 10 years before publishing her books. The Kalika Magic books are published internationally, and have received excellent reviews in The Sydney Morning Herald and other media. #1 'Emerald Child' explores earth magic and the power of the four elements - earth, water, air and fire. #2 'The Shaman's Secret' introduces the shaman and the spirit animals. #3 'The Sorrow of the Waters' is a more emotional journey, with the spirits of the water grieving over the destruction of the land.
