Mette Menzies

Mette Menzies is the pen name of longtime best friends and writing partners Steven Reynolds and Viktoriya Butler. For more than two decades, they’ve shared a passion for great storytelling, spirited banter, and the kind of friendship built on sharp wit, triple-shot espressos, and a mutual affection for Oxford commas and sun-soaked holidays. 

They both live on Sydney’s leafy North Shore, where they can often be found in local cafes, bookstores, and wine bars, sketching characters and stories inspired by the world around them, and quietly observing the magic of everyday life.
