Twenty-three-year-old Caighlan Smith is a rising author from Canada, well-known for her work in the fantasy, young adult, and science fiction genres. Despite her young age, Smith has already established herself as a talented writer, having penned her first novel at the age of fourteen. She is currently furthering her studies at the university level while continuing to write.
Smith has a deep love for reading and writing, often finding herself immersed in a book or working on her latest story. She enjoys various forms of storytelling, from traditional novels to graphic novels, manga, plays, and video games. When she's not engaged in reading or writing, Smith can be found gaming, sleeping, or spinning on her wheelie desk chair. She has a playful personality and is known for her dislike of cats, being highly allergic to them.
Raised in the coastal community of St. Philip's, Canada, Smith was fortunate to grow up surrounded by the natural beauty of the northwest Atlantic. As a child, she had a vivid imagination and a strong belief in magic, even attempting to find leprechauns in Ireland and trolls in Norway during her travels with her family. Smith's early experiences and love for mythology have greatly influenced her writing, which often incorporates fantastical elements and imaginative worlds.
In addition to her passion for storytelling, Smith has also dabbled in the world of acting, having appeared in a TV show screened at the UN in New York in 2000 during the International Child Day. She is the only child of a single parent and comes from a family of creatives, with her father working in filmmaking and her grandfather as a photographer. Smith is currently working on the sequel to her newest YA Fantasy novel, Children of Icarus, and continues to be a prominent figure in the young adult literature scene.
