Angeline Trevena was born and bred in a rural corner of Devon, but now lives among the breweries and canals of central England with her husband, their two sons, and a rather neurotic cat. She is a dystopian urban fantasy and post-apocalyptic author, a podcaster, and events manager.

In 2003 she graduated from Edge Hill University, Lancashire, with a BA Hons Degree in Drama and Writing. During this time she decided that her future lay in writing words rather than performing them.

“And, over the years, I have collected other bits and pieces that remind me of Narnia. Including film props, and a good collection of behind-the-scenes and the-making-of books. My obsession is complete, and incurable. All that is left is to find a way to Narnia myself. I’m still looking, and I won’t give up.”
A Trevena, Complete Worldbuilding: An Author’s Step-by-Step Guide to Building Fictional Worlds

“Unlike many other people, I can see the wood very clearly. It's the trees I have trouble with.”
A Trevena, Complete Worldbuilding: An Author’s Step-by-Step Guide to Building Fictional Worlds

“doesn’t exist separately from the people who live in it, and you should create it with those people in mind. They will have opinions about everything. Beliefs, hopes, grievances. Things they love, things they hate. Things they want to change. Things they fight to change.”
