Anne Pengelly writes fantasy stories steeped in lore, layered with emotion, and occasionally blasted with glitter. When she’s not wrangling ancient relics and epic destinies on the page, she’s fending off garden snails, training her bonsai (gently), and trying to convince her dog and cat to peacefully co-exist (unsuccessfully).
Her days are a mix of hard Pilates, soft jumpers, and a firm belief that coffee and Prosecco both count as writing fuel. She’s currently learning Spanish for an upcoming family wedding. She knows lots of words but can never remember them when it counts. Anne is contemplating the perfect flowering tree to plant beside a newly claimed white wall. There will be petals.

Her writing blends epic stakes with found family, dry wit, and the kind of characters who’d fight ancient gods before finishing their tea.

The Red Church does not forgive. It records. In a world where magic is bound by debt and every spell must be paid in blood, the Red Church governs with ledgers and leeches, masks and mercy measured in drops. To cast is to owe. To refuse is to vanish. The Veil watches all. Nyxa Reddane was meant to disappear....
