Juliet E McKenna


UK flag (b.1965)

Juliet McKenna has been interested in fantasy stories since childhood, from Winnie the Pooh to The Iliad. An abiding fascination with other worlds and their peoples played its part in her subsequently reading Classics at St. Hilda's College, Oxford. After combining bookselling and motherhood for a couple of years, she now fits in her writing around her family and visa versa. She lives with her husband and children in West Oxfordshire, England.

A Market of Dreams and Destiny (2023)
Trip Galey
"Intriguing and atmospheric, this compelling tale of drama and danger in the shadows of a goblin market under an alternate Victorian London more than delivers on its promises."
thumb
A Woman of the Sword (2023)
Anna Smith-Spark
"Epic fantasy from the victims' viewpoint, as seen by someone used to being a victor. Uncompromising and unputdownable - prepare to be challenged."
thumb
The Dust Of The Red Rose Knight (2023)
James Bennett
"A stylish Arthurian romp offering swords, sorcery and witches seen through a contemporary comic prism."
thumb
The Amber Crown (2022)
Jacey Bedford
"Solid epic fantasy that understands the genre's core appeal at the same time as offering fresh twists and perspectives. Assured and effective worldbuilding, believably complex characters."
thumb
Our Child of the Stars (2018)
Stephen Cox
"Cox takes a straightforward SF idea and turns it into something wholly fresh and intensely gripping. A tightly personal story draws readers deep into a couple's struggle to protect an innocent caught up in (literally) world-shaking events. By looking back to the '60s space race, and what might have been, Cox invites us to muse on events and ideas that have shaped the societies we live in today, and asks us where we might want humanity to go."

The Sisters Mederos (2018)
(Tales of Port Saint Frey, book 1)
Patrice Sarath
