About

Jo de-Lancey is a fantasy writer from the U.K. She wanted to be an author from a very young age and used to while away the hours writing stories about enchanted scarecrows – which she’d then read to her older brother and his friends. Yes, she now cringes about this, but everyone has to start somewhere.

She’s since left the scarecrows behind in favour of thieves, pirates and magic. A love of the classic Final Fantasy and Zelda games drew her towards the fantasy genre, as well as the desire to create her own world. Her debut novel, The Crystal Shore, was released in 2022 and is the first in a series of four.

When she’s not writing she can be found playing video games, navigating the wilds of the English countryside with her fiancée or watching b-movies while drinking cocktails.
