J.A. Clement lives near London with her partner and a lunatic lurcher puppy. She writes her fantasy series whenever she can, mostly in her lunch hour (which probably explains the excessive number of bacon sandwiches that have to be edited out later). Her "To-Write" list is as big as your "To-Read" list (and covers several genres, but she just needs to finish this series first...)

She's also happy to be contacted by readers via email at jaclement [dot] ondarkshores [at] gmail [dot] com and will answer any questions she can without spoilers.

She does love a good gossip with fellow bookworms.
