Biography[edit]

An author from Perth, Australia,[1] her fascination with Japanese culture and martial arts began back in the '60s as she watched the adventures of Shintaro the Samurai on TV, which made Japanese history her lifelong passion.

Pauli is a 20-year student of the Katori Shinto Ryu, one of the oldest surviving schools of samurai fighting and tactical arts. She is also a student of kendo, jukendo, and tankendo. She is also a researcher into Japanese magic, legend, and occultism.

She is also a co-designer of the Monogatari roleplaying game produced American Tabletop roleplaying game developer [[W:Chaosium Inc.|Chaosium. Amongst her 40 or so novels in print is the Spirit Hunters series, which follows the adventures of a group of would-be monster hunters in medieval Japan.

Her video game journalism channel, Lace and Steel is hosted on YouTube.
