Demelza Carlton
USA Today Bestselling Author Demelza Carlton has always loved the ocean, but on her first snorkelling trip she found she was afraid of fish.
She has since swum with sea lions, sharks and sea cucumbers and stood on spray-drenched cliffs over a seething sea as a seven-metre cyclonic swell surged in, shattering a shipwreck below.
Sensationalist spin? No - Demelza tends to take a camera with her so she can capture and share the moment later; shipwrecks, sharks and all.
Demelza now lives in Perth, Western Australia, the shark attack capital of the world.
The Ocean's Gift series was her first foray into fiction, followed by the Nightmares trilogy. She swears the Mel Goes to Hell series ambushed her on a crowded train and wouldn't leave her alone.

Reviews and Comments
This was an interesting retelling of the Princess and the Pea and I enjoyed getting to know Princess Sativa and her betrothed Reidar. The part in the beginning of the book when they meet as children was really cute. The book does take some pretty dark turns later on but has a good end. Reidar's cousin Rudolf looks like an interesting character and I look forward to reading his story Blow: Three Little Pigs Retold (Book #09).
