The Heart of My Australian Dream
The village of Ursini in Regio. Nestled high up in the mountains of Southern Italy...where imagination and magic are built into a hidden world. This is Janet's heritage - the roots of her past.
I’m an emerging Australian science fantasy fiction author, whose stories grow from the red earth, wild coastlines, and ancient spirit of the land I call home. I write at the crossroads of ancient magic and the modern Australian landscape, creating worlds that feel sun‑warmed, wind‑carved, and alive beneath your feet.
Living and working with neurodiversity, I weave themes of self‑discovery, resilience, and inner strength throughout The Starborn Secret and The Chronicles of the Unseen. My characters often walk difficult paths, confronting the shadows within and around them, and discover that growth begins in the moments when certainty falls away. Facing our fears, and standing tall in the dark is our biggest courage.
My Italian heritage, family struggles and lifelong love of poetry, romance, and imagined worlds, colour everything I write. I’m drawn to stories where courage is forged in unexpected places, where identities are tested, and where nothing is quite as it seems. Fantasy has always been my way of exploring the quiet truths of life...how we rise, how we break, how we begin again.
I hope my worlds feel like a hand extended in the dark: warm, steady, and full of possibility.
