Joanna Starr is a half-elf and author of the best-selling epic fantasy series, The Goddess Prophecies, written by her pen, Araya Evermore. She has been exploring other worlds and writing fantasy stories ever since she came to Planet Earth. Finding herself in a world in which she didn’t quite fit, escaping into fantasy novels gave her the magic and wonder she craved. Despite majoring in Philosophy & Religion, then Computer Science, she left her career in The City to return to her first love; writing Epic Fantasy.

Originally from the West Country, she’s been travelling the world since 2011, and has been on the road so long she no longer comes from any place in particular. So far, she’s resided in the Caribbean, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Andorra and Malta. Despite loving forests and mountains, she’s actually a sea-based creature and currently resides by the ocean in Ireland.

Aside from writing, she spends time working, talking to trees, swimming with fish, gaming, and playing with swords.
