Kesta Fleming is a writer and poet, and author of the Marlow Brown chapter book series for seven- to ten-year-olds.

She was born in England but grew up in the Adelaide Hills in a house full of books, bells and music. With a love of stories and a fascination for words she began writing when young. In addition to Marlow Brown, she has had numerous poems, plays, articles and short stories published in The School Magazine and in anthologies.

Kesta is a former teacher and now divides her time between writing for children and her therapeutic work helping people manage stress and anxiety.

She lives in Melbourne with her husband, two teenagers and a Brittany Spaniel.
