Felicity Pulman is an Australian author whose works span multiple genres, including historical fiction, crime, fantasy, and young adult literature. Her fascination with medieval history and Arthurian legends is evident in her adult fiction, particularly in "The Janna Chronicles," a medieval crime series comprising titles such as "Blood Oath," "Stolen Child," and "Unholy Murder." She also explores Arthurian lore in "I, Morgana" and its sequel, "The Once and Future Camelot," which reimagines the legacy of Morgana and her descendants. For younger readers, Pulman has written acclaimed novels like "Ghost Boy," which is in pre-production for a film adaptation, and "A Ring Through Time," a timeslip narrative set against the backdrop of Norfolk Island's convict history.
Born in a small African bush town, Pulman developed a deep love for storytelling through books, which served as her gateway to imagination and knowledge. After returning to education later in life, she earned a BA in Communications with a focus on creative writing from the University of Technology Sydney. This formal training allowed her to refine her craft, particularly in genres blending historical intrigue with elements of fantasy and mystery. Her writing often reflects her passion for medieval and Australian history, as well as Celtic mythology, creating richly layered narratives that resonate with readers.
Pulman's career highlights include the successful reworking of her earlier "Janna Mysteries" into "The Janna Chronicles," now published by Momentum. Her ability to weave crime and historical fantasy has earned her a dedicated following. Beyond her novels, Pulman's works continue to captivate audiences, with "Ghost Boy" poised to reach an even wider audience through its upcoming film adaptation. Her stories, whether set in the distant past or bridging time through speculative fiction, demonstrate her versatility and enduring appeal as a storyteller.
