edit data

Australian traditional published and self-published author, welcoming you into my world of fantasy. As an author, I aim not only to write strong, empowering female characters but also to showcase diversity and inclusivity, giving representation and voices to those who are often neglected in the book world. I love to bounce between genres, but nothing gives me greater joy than to create unique worlds with rich mythologies you can't read in any other book.

I have completed 20 books as of August 2025, with more stories on the horizon!

A.D. Burnell liked an answer from A.D. Burnell: How do you deal with writer’s block? I've never had it, but i do have moments where I don't have the energy to write even though all the details and story events are ready to go in my head. I just sit back, relax and wait till it comes back to me. A.D. Burnell

A.D. Burnell liked an answer from A.D. Burnell: Where did you get the idea for your most recent book? I had fallen in love with the werewolf genre but was tired of seeing certain tropes or seeing strong female leads not staying true to their title. I wanted to write a fantasy where I get to recreate iconic mythology and promote strong female characte See A.D.’s answer. A.D. Burnell

A.D. Burnell liked Amelia Harper's review of Codename: Blackheart: Codename Trilogy Book 1: "Fast-paced, razor-sharp, and gripping from the first page—Codename: Blackheart is a must-read for fans of femme fatales, shadowy syndicates, and high-octane twists Alina Istrati was born to kill—literally. Descended from two infamous bloodlines of ass" Read more of this review »
