Passionate about exploration, Janelle has spent a disproportionate amount of time alone in the bush; for research, for fun, and now to fuel her love of creating wilderness-based fiction.

She’s chased mountain ranges from Nepal to Bolivia and settled for years beside the Canadian Rockies, always choosing the path with the least footprints. After meeting a bear (the hard way), Janelle realised her allegiance was with Australian-style critters and moved home.

She finds creative inspiration in the memories of ancient landscapes, exploring hidden forests, and drawing lines between art and science.

Janelle lives with her family in Perth, Western Australia.
