Meet the author
Stories with magic,
mayhem and heart.
Sylvie Janes writes urban fantasy and science fiction for readers who love stepping into strange new worlds and staying there long after the final page.
Based in Queensland, Australia, Sylvie fills her stories with magic, adventure, fierce characters and the kind of trouble that makes “just one more chapter” almost impossible to resist.
Away from her own imaginary worlds, she's usually adding yet another book to a TBR pile already taller than she is. Because, honestly, can you ever have too many books?
Writing time is often supervised by her cat—a suspected paper dragon in disguise—who has a remarkable talent for settling on the keyboard or writing pad at exactly the wrong moment. It isn't the most efficient creative partnership, but it does keep life interesting.
