C.T. Furlong grew up in Co Wicklow, Ireland, and studied Science at Carlow Institute of Technology, and promptly forgot most of it. After traveling in Europe, working in the music business in London and in the fashion business in Antwerp, a childhood love of adventure stories, coupled with the long-neglected interest in science, resulted in the creation of The ARCTIC6. She is married with two young children and currently lives in the remote wilds of Suffolk.
