edit data

JW Kingsley has been a voracious reader since the age of four. As soon as she could hold a pencil she was scribbling stories, bad poetry (and some decent poetry), and dreaming about writing her own books.
She now calls North Carolina home after spending the last twenty years traipsing around the world with her partner, their daughter, and half-feral cat.
If she’s not writing she’s spending time with family, her writer’s coven, the half-feral cat and her rescue dog brothers, and dreaming about where her adventures will take her next—all while drinking ridiculous amounts of tea and reading a mix of books written by her amazing author friends, fantasy, and time-travel novels.
