Official author bio:

Multi-award-winning author Jayne Castel writes epic Historical Romance and Celtic Romantasy from her home in Edinburgh, Scotland. With over +55 published books, she pens emotionally intense, action-packed romances featuring fierce heroines and battle-hardened heroes.

Jayne specializes in Medieval Scottish romance—currently stories set on the Isle of Mull—and lush, brutal Pict-inspired fantasy worlds where Fae, druids, and mortals collide. Her authentic Celtic mythology, richly researched historical detail, and distinctive characters have earned her multiple Amazon bestselling series and a devoted readership.

Originally from New Zealand, Jayne loves exploring the Scottish Highlands that inspire her stories, cooking Italian feasts, and reading (and re-reading) her favorite authors.
