Esther Dalseno

Esther Dalseno was born in a rural Australian town and after living in both Portland, Oregon and Sydney, New South Wales, she headed off to see the world.

Writing and teaching, she has lived in Laos, Vietnam and South Korea and has traveled the world extensively, from Johannesburg to Bangkok to Barcelona.

She now lives in Berlin with her husband, daughter, and Pekingese dog, all acquired in different countries. She has no plans yet to return to Australia.

Esther loves museums, festivals, live music and can often be seen ambling about the graffiti-strewn streets of Berlin's inner city.

She was previously published in the acclaimed short story collection, We All Need a Witness, by Pan Macmillan.

Her second novel, Gabriel and the Swallows , is due for release in 2016.
