Kai Ash was raised in Yuggera country (Brisbane region, Queensland), where he grew up amid bush-covered ranges. Once he was old enough, he set off to explore the world: Czechia, the Palestinian Territories, Israel, New Zealand, Spain and Scotland. He studied gender, language, law and psychology before returning home again. Kai’s work has been shortlisted in The Ampersand Prize, Adaptable, Lane Cove Literary Awards and Melbourne Lord Mayor’s Creative Writing Awards, and he was a mentee in the CA/ASA Award Mentorship Program. The Boy Maeve is his first published novel.
‘Weird, wonderful and like nothing I’ve ever read, The Boy Maeve explores trans identity with nuance and originality. Kai Ash pushes the boundaries of YA fiction in the best possible way.’ – Erin Gough, award-winning author of Into the Mouth of the Wolf
