Russell Kirkpatrick is a New Zealand author, geography lecturer, and cartographer. He holds a PhD in geography from the University of Canterbury and has published six atlases, including the bestselling Contemporary Atlas New Zealand. His interest in maps and his love of fantasy fiction came together in his first novel, Across the Face of the World, which he spent 16 years writing.

Kirkpatrick has published two epic fantasy trilogies: the Fire of Heaven trilogy (originally published in New Zealand in the late 1990s, then internationally in the 2000s) and the Broken Man trilogy (2007-2009). He draws his own maps, and the detailed worldbuilding in his books reflects his cartographic background. His most recent work is Silent Sorrow (2021), the first book in the Book of Remezov series.
