Mats Halvard was born in Norway in 1969. After working briefly in the nuclear industry, he retreated into the wilds and has spent much of the last twenty years living off the land in numerous countries in the sub-artic regions, including northern Canada, Siberia and Greenland. A passionate conservationist, he has studied the survival methods of indigenous peoples and their unique relationship with their environment and wildlife.
He still lives entirely off the grid, having no computer or mobile phone, and is often out of touch with the outside world for months at a time.
'The House of One Room' is his first novel.
After her father dies suddenly, fourteen year old Anna Nelson escapes to the wilds of Tasmania to be with her godfather, the enigmatic zoologist Peter Bamford.
Pete has a secret project in the forest beyond his lonely cabin, but he won't tell her what it is. Only when he too disappears, leaving Anna alone, does she realise just how important and fragile her godfather's work really is.
With the competing forces of tourism, logging and international smuggling closing in, she must find a way to save the forest before it's too late.
There's only one chance, but to take it will risk everything...
Set in the beautiful and austere landscape of western Tasmania, Mats Halvard's debut novel is a moving and magical story of courage and love, of loss and life regained, and of how one person really can make a difference.
