About The Author

Eileen Merriman

Eileen Merriman’s first young adult novel, Pieces of You, was published in 2017 and was a finalist in the NZ Book Awards for Children and Young Adults and a Storylines Notable Book. Since then, she has published a stream of novels for adults and young adults, receiving critical praise. One reviewer stated, “Merriman is an instinctive storyteller with an innate sense of timing.”

Merriman is a regular finalist in the NZ Book Awards for Children and Young Adults. She was also a finalist in the 2021 Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Crime Novel, and Moonlight Sonata was longlisted for the Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction 2020. Editions of some of her young adult novels have been released in Germany, Turkey, and the UK. Three of her novels have been optioned for film or TV, including the Black Spiral Trilogy.

In 2024, Merriman’s novel Catch a Falling Star, which depicts a 15-year-old spiralling into a mental health crisis, won both the New Zealand Book Awards Young Adult Fiction Award and NZ Booklovers’ Best Young Adult Book. Her other awards include runner-up in the 2018 Sunday Star-Times Short Story Award and third place in the same award for three consecutive years prior.

Merriman works as a consultant haematologist at North Shore Hospital.
