Janelle McCurdy is an author and fully-fledged gamer. Having started writing at only sixteen years old, she joined Jo Unwin Literary Agency (JULA) in her early twenties. After graduating from Royal Holloway University with a criminology and sociology degree, Janelle moved back home to London and began writing middle grade fantasy. In her free time, you can find her holed up in her room, gaming and watching anime (some of her favorites being Inuyasha, Dragon Ball Z, and Death Note), or attending numerous comic cons and gaming events.

Book 1 in her debut children’s fantasy book series: Mia and the Lightcasters is out, with the second book: Mia and the Traitor of Nubis out later this year.
