Indigo Bloome was born and raised in Sydney. Before fiction, she built a career in finance and spent a good part of her early working life in the United Kingdom.

She has said that at twelve she wanted to be a private detective. She read Nancy Drew, The Famous Five, and other mystery adventures, and she even wrote a homemade series with her best friend. By fifteen, a visit to Wall Street had pushed her in a very different direction. Finance and economics took over, and she later began a bachelor of business before going on to complete an MBA.

She was not on the usual novelist track.

For years, Bloome's life was work, study, travel, and family. In interviews she has been pretty open about the fact that she never saw herself as especially artistic. Then two things changed. She moved away from city life to regional Australia with her husband and two children, and during a bout of glandular fever she found herself with the time and headspace to start a novel. What began as an experiment turned into her debut, Destined to Play.

That first book introduced psychologist Alexandra Blake and opened the Avalon trilogy, which continues in Destined to Feel and Destined to Fly. Bloome has said she wanted more than a very young or inexperienced heroine, so Alexandra arrives on the page as a working adult, a mother, and someone already carrying a full life. Across the trilogy, Bloome mixes erotic tension with questions about trust, betrayal, control, research, and the strange gap between what people say they want and what they actually chase. The books move from Tasmania and Sydney into a wider, darker story with corporate intrigue and psychological pressure.

Then came Match Pointe, her first standalone novel. It shifts from laboratories and lectures to ballet and elite tennis, but the interests are familiar: ambition, power, obsession, performance, and the price people pay to stay at the top. Readers who come to Bloome for soft, easy comfort are usually in the wrong place. Her stories tend to put smart adults in glossy, high-pressure situations and see what happens when desire starts scrambling good judgment.

She also talks about writing in a very practical way.

Bloome has said she started by trying to write the kind of book she wanted to read while travelling for work or lying awake late at night. She kept journals, loved getting lost in stories, and was drawn to dream interpretation, long conversations, and the human mind. Those interests help explain why her fiction spends so much time on perception and inner tension, not just plot.

The public picture of her life now is pretty simple. She is married, has two children, and traded a fast city career for a quieter life in regional Australia. That late turn to writing seems to suit her. Indigo Bloome's books are full of people testing limits, but the path that brought her to fiction sounds almost calm by comparison.
