After growing up in a beachside suburb of Sydney, Australia, Janni Nell travelled overseas, working in the UK before returning to Sydney, where she now lives.

Janni began writing in her late teens. She won prizes for short story but her dream was to publish a novel. Carina Press fulfilled that dream when Allegra Fairweather: Paranormal Investigator was published in June 2010. Janni has now concluded the Allegra Fairweather series with book five, Night of the Dark Horse.

When Janni isn’t writing, you can find her line dancing, walking the dog or working in her vegetable garden.
