Hey, I’m JW, an indie fantasy author
who writes epic fantasy with a splash of romance. Welcome to my virtual home!

When not writing, I am usually reading, but I also enjoy needlecraft and crochet. I’m currently obsessed with dragons, the ancient Roman Republic, and scented candles.

You can also find me on most social media platforms, I’d love to hear from you!

I update my blog once a week, and will be regularly adding to the pages about my fictional universe, Aswatya, as well as updates about my publishing plans and projects.

My debut novel was published on 1st December 2023, and is available at all major ebook retailers. The paperback is currently only available through Amazon. You can read a sample here. The rest of the trilogy is planned to release by the end of 2025.

I have a newsletter, which you can sign up for here or through the pop up which should be along shortly. It’s the only way to get a free short story set before the beginning of The Chronicles of Derzhava: find out why you should never betray Razboinik.

You can drop me an email through my contact form, or find me on social media!
