Local Urban Fantasy author, A. L. Tippett, officially launched her third book on Sunday, September 18 at the Badila Art Gallery in Pinnacle.
‘A Dragon’s Soul’ is the highly anticipated conclusion to her debut trilogy, ‘The MINATH Chronicles’.
‘The MINATH Chronicles’ is a tale of magical realism and contemporary fantasy with all manner of mythical creatures.
Book one, ‘A Dragon’s Mind’, was released in 2020 followed by book two, ‘A Dragon’s Body’, in 2021.
Attendees enjoyed free coffee from Whistlestop Coffee Cart, free cupcakes and an impressive book cake from Sam’s Cakes and Crafts.
Ms Tippett began writing her first fantasy novel when she was twelve but abandoned it after deciding that being an author wasn’t a “real” job and therefore not worth pursuing.
After completing her secondary schooling at Mirani State High School, her parents encouraged her to experience the real world before committing to a university degree.
After working in hospitality, she landed a job as an insurance broker, where she worked for seven years before leaving to start a family.
She and her husband live on a farm near Eungella and have now welcomed two children into their lives.
Tippett feels very fortunate to be able to stay at home and care for them whilst her husband works away.
“It’s challenging finding the time to write with two kids but, as they say, where there’s a will, there’s a way,” she said.
‘The MINATH Chronicles’ trilogy is available to purchase from altippett.com.
