Janna G. Noelle (she/her) is a Canadian historical fiction writer, wanderer, and all-around workhorse who resides on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, colonially known as Vancouver, British Columbia.
Her writing is set in the pre-modern (medieval and classical) era, which she uses to explore intersections between parts of humanity’s heroic/mythic past and the origins of many of the same societal issues and restrictive perceptions we grapple with today.
A former park warden and environmental educator, Janna now works in the non-profit sector as a program manager, strategic researcher/evaluator, and advocate for anti-racism and social justice. When not working on her latest novel or tackling her mountainous to-read pile, her hobbies include bike-riding, running up and down hills, belting classical crossover and 80s love songs, travelling, and tramping through the woods with her field guides.
