in the world of Nardva at the age of nine. She enjoys writing secondary world
fiction, poetry, blogging and editing.

shapeshifters or magic users (some with more of these elements than others).

of the Mountain: a short novella, The
Herbalist's Daughter: a short story and Lakwi's
Lament: a short story. Her other short stories and poems are published in a
number of anthologies including Glimpses

her Akrad’s Legacy Series—a Young
Adult secondary world fantasy fiction with adventure, courtly intrigue and
romantic elements.
Jeanette has practised medicine, studied
communication, history, theology and a Master of Arts (Writing). She loves
reading, painting, travel, catching up for coffee with friends, pondering the
meaning of life and communicating God’s great love. She lives in Brisbane with
her husband and children.

ReplyDeleteThese look interesting. Might give them a read!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Thank you :)
DeleteThank you, Sally and Jeanette.
ReplyDeleteI have great respect for your storytelling capabilities and writing work ethic, Jeanette, and have gained much enjoyment from reading your stories. I'm still convinced you're secretly a superhero, given the amount of work you churn through, along with all the other commitments you have in life. (One day I'll catch you with your cape on! LOL.)
Congratulations again on your recent release of 'Lakwi's Lament'. I look forward to reading more fantastic (or is that fantastical, given it's fantasy ...?) stories from you soon.
Thanks Adele - hoping it's both fantastic and fantastical. Have even branched out with two Sci-Fi stories lately, but no superheroes. Love your stories too.
