Karly Lane is an Australian author who has become one of the country’s most popular writers of rural romance and women’s fiction. She lives on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales in the valley her family has called home for five generations. A proud mother of four, Lane has been writing full-time since breaking into publishing after submitting a manuscript through Allen & Unwin’s Friday Pitch program.
Lane’s standalone novels make up the bulk of her work, with stories set in the Australian bush that explore themes of family, love, second chances, and small-town life. Her debut novel North Star arrived in 2011, and she has published steadily since then, with titles like Bridie’s Choice, Poppy’s Dilemma, Tallowood Bound, and Second Chance Town. She also wrote The Callahans of Stringybark Creek, a trilogy following the Callahan family, and surprised her readers with Guardians of the Crossing, a fantasy trilogy that marked a departure from her usual genre.
With over 550,000 copies of her books sold, Lane has built a loyal readership drawn to her authentic portrayals of rural Australian communities. Her writing covers a range within women’s fiction, from romantic suspense to family sagas, and her characters often wrestle with real problems against the backdrop of the Australian landscape.
