Thalia Henry lives in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Inspired by the landscapes of the rugged South Island high country, where she spent time as a teenager learning to glide with her late father, Terry, Beneath Pale Water is her debut novel. Beneath Pale Water was awarded a gold award in the 2018 IPPY competition - Australia/New Zealand Best Regional Fiction category.

​

Thalia's recent publications include a short story, Nigella (2024), in the Botanical Short Stories collection by The History Press, UK; a narrative poem in More than a Roof (2023), an anthology by Landing Press, described as an eclectic story about home, and a reflection about freedom in the Cloud Ink Press Covid-19 themed anthology, Fresh Ink: A Collection of Voices from Aotearoa (2021).

Currently, Thalia is writing her second novel manuscript, Sorry Rock, set against the backdrop of Te Henga (Bethells Beach) and the Northern Territory of Australia.
