Locally, reviewers have compared her to masters of the genre, including Raymond Feist, Jean M Auel, David Gemmell and Guy Gavriel Kay; internationally, she is also a sensation. <em>Myrren\u2019s Gift<\/em>, for instance, was Britain\u2019s highest-selling debut for 2005, and it has now been published in all English-speaking markets around the world and translated into several languages.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it was while swamped with French fans clutching translation copies of these novels during a recent trip to the Paris Book Fair that Fiona decided it was time to finally give in to their pleas that she set another novel in France; and so the seed for THE SCRIVENER\u2019S TALE was sown.<\/p>\n<p>Set in the landscape of Morgravia (a world already familiar to her readers) and inspired by rainy afternoons spent walking the streets of Paris and hours spent rummaging through Shakespeare &amp; Co (one of the city\u2019s most famous bookshops and a mecca for its English-speaking literati), THE SCRIVENER\u2019S TALE is just the kind of gripping, expertly-crafted narrative that fans and critics alike have come to expect from McIntosh.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her skyrocketing writing career, Fiona leads a relatively normal life, dividing her time between Adelaide and Tasmania\u2019s Huon Valley with the occasional research trip to Europe thrown in. A mother of twin sons, she is also a prolific baker and chocolate addict, baking all manner of cakes, brownies and biscuits into the early hours of the morning as her family sleeps.
