welcome
Thanks for visiting my website. My name is Bianca Breen, and I'm an author and book nerd from Perth, Western Australia.
I'm passionate about Australian literature for kids and young adults, and the power of finding your community. I currently work at The Literature Centre and host YA for WA, and in the past I've been the Communications Director of LoveOzYA and co-host of The YA Room.
I write, review, and just generally gush about books, as well as moderate events and run workshops. I hope you find what you're looking for, and if not, feel free to get in touch or check out my newsletter.
My debut YA steampunk fantasy novel is releasing 2025 with Stag Beetle Books.
coming in may 2025
Made of Steam and Stardust
When a comet hurtles toward her planet, sixteen-year-old inventor Gerdie is determined to stop it and use her success to improve the conditions of the factories she works in: she'll build a machine that will save the world.
But as she hunts for the parts to build her creation, she encounters Fell—a mysterious boy with an unsettling connection to the comet. He's being hunted by the ruthless Conqueror Seki, and soon Gerdie is, too.
On the run, the duo uncovers a chilling secret: blueprints for a deadly army of automatons. The army is nearly complete, but a final piece is still missing.
If Gerdie doesn't find it before Conqueror Seki does, the comet will be the least of her worries.
