About Llewella

When Llewella was young, her father read her the Oz books, the Narnia books, The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Her family watched PBS costume dramas and murder mysteries on television together. In college she began attending fan-run science fiction conventions. All of those influences come together in her writing: she writes fantasies set in historical times that involve stopping criminals.

Llewella was one of the developmental editors for the anthology titled Meaningful Conflicts: The Art of Friction, put out by Off Campus Writers’ Workshop, which came out in 2023. Prior to that, she was one of the developmental editors for Turning Points, also by Off Campus Writers’ Workshop, which came out in June 2021.

Llewella is currently attempting to finish a manuscript that started out as a feminist retelling of Cinderella for one of her daughters, then eight years old. It has since turned into a YA pentology with four viewpoint characters. That daughter is now a college graduate and is Llewella’s biggest fan.

Llewella has a Bachelors in English Literature and a Masters in Teaching. She teaches classes at SavvyAuthors, and Hearts Through History, a chapter of Romance Writers of America.
