Janeen Leese-Taylor

Janeen (aka Landrey) is an Irish author born and raised on the scenic Causeway Coast. Curious, and with a great love for adventure, Jan spent their childhood climbing trees and talking to their imaginary friends, many of whom have now found a home in their writing.

They have a bachelor’s degree in advertising and work for gaming companies around the world. They are a lover of all things fantasy and they aim to bring some magic to the places that they visit in their writing.

Portstewart, Dublin and Chester City each feature prominently in both their travels and their writing, and their stories often draw from real life places that have captured their heart.

As an ultramarathon runner, Jan often writes on the go, using their trusty phone and stylus to craft scenes that come to them after hours on their feet.

They live with their husband, Liam, their Border Collie-Cross, Zarya, and their Guinea Pig, (Peek-A) Boo, who they all fear will one day take over the world.

Jan loves to share ideas, including fanfiction and art, on their social media pages! Check them out on Twitter @InkAndSmudge
