T.A. Willberg is a bestselling author from South Africa, known for their work in speculative and historical crime fiction. Growing up on a small-holding in their home country, Willberg was surrounded by nature and open spaces, which may have influenced their love for imaginative storytelling.
At the age of 27, Willberg made a significant move to Malta, where they began their writing career. Their debut novel, Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder, was published in 2021 and quickly gained critical acclaim. The book was named one of Amazon's "100 Best Books of 2021" and was featured as a Strand "Book of the Month," as well as a LibraryReads pick.
