Biography
Aiki lives in Brisbane, Australia, with her husband, (Ernest), teenage son (Leonidis - not their real names, obviously), aging dog and directionally-challenged fish.
In between being a wife, running a business full-time and helping Leonidis with homework, she squeezes in a few hobbies, including:
Martial arts, painting, writing, reading, bellydancing and playing three or four musical instruments. Occasionally she even sleeps. Very occasionally.

by Aiki Flinthart
On the iron-poor colony planet of Kalima, the inhabitants are trapped in a feudal society governed by the ruling families for hundreds of years. When Alere Connor, failed xintou but expert swordswoman, discovers the existence of a viable iron deposit, her once-predictable, restrictive life is thrown into chaos. To protect her people, she must somehow prevent the first war on Kalima from erupting and destroying the peace that has reigned for seven hundred years.

In a world where humans and sidhe have been at war for thousands of years, Rowan Gilmore wants nothing to do with either side of her heritage. But she can't seem to escape. Between the Mors Ferrum - an ancient organisation dedicated to wiping out the sidhe - and in-fighting between Dark and Light Sidhe, it seems like everyone wants to use Rowan's unique gifts as a weapon. All she wants is to be left alone. She's not going to get her wish.

If you've ever played computer games and wished you could be your avatar, this is the series for you. When Phoenix and Jade are sucked into the game 80AD, they are no longer 14yo ordinary kids, but are now their 17yo avatars. Phoenix is a warrior and can't wait to kick-ass in a way he can't in his real life. Jade is a spell-weaver, but she just wants to get home. To do that, they'll have to play out the game and defeat the villain, Feng Zhudai. But nothing is as it seems, for this fantasy world is connected to the real world. If Phoenix and Jade fail, their world could fall to Feng Zhudai as well. And there's no unlimited re-spawns here - just seven lives. Once they're gone, you're dead. Forever. So Jade and Phoenix will have to overcome their differences and defeat monsters, druids, Romans, gods and their own fears in order to succeed.
