Trudi Jaye
Genre:
Fantasy
I’ve always had an overactive imagination, and remember sitting at the base of the big oak tree at primary school, building houses for the fairies, and telling their stories as I played.
For twelve years I was a magazine writer and editor, covering a range of topics from hammers and hardware to travel and cutting-edge research. Three years ago I became a full time writer.
These days I write from our rural property in New Zealand where I live with my lovely husband and cheeky young daughter. I enjoy yoga, although I’m not very bendy, and karate, although I don’t like the idea of hitting anyone. - Trudi Jaye
