Molly O’Neill is a fantasy author and engineering geologist. She was born and raised in the Cotswolds and moved to Australia in 2019. She now lives in Sydney, on the land of the Gadigal People.

Molly writes fantasy books inspired by the beautiful landscapes of her two countries, and by the folklore of the British Isles. She particularly loves the darker Arthurian legends and the Welsh myths of the Mabinogion and often uses them as a foundation for her stories.

Her first novel, Greenteeth, is out now. Her next book, Nightshade and Oak, is coming Feb 2026.

October 2025 - Reviewed

I am so glad October is done! It has been a very busy month for me, starting off with a wedding in the UK and then flying back to Sydney and almost immediately jumping back into sitework. The one upside is the beautiful spring weather that has finally arrived in NSW - and the blooming of the jacaranda trees on every corner. I also announced my new book, Nightshade and Oak, and will be kicking off Read more of this blog post »

Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman
“If that’s how you’d rather remember it. But I did not mean that as a reproach. I do not, in truth, think less of you for having the common sense to abandon a ship once waves began to break over the bow. Nor, after sixteen years shut away from the sun, am I likely to find tears to spare for Henry Plantagenet.”

“The witch looked surprised to see me, her eyes blinking furiously at me through murky waters. I don’t know why she was so astonished. It was my lake she’d been thrown into; she should have expected I’d come and see if there was anyone worth eating.”
Molly O'Neill, Greenteeth

“Adult humans were pretty gamey, not really to my taste at the best of times.”
Molly O'Neill, Greenteeth

“My favourite piece is an old sword someone threw in the lake way back when I was just moving in. It is very fine and has some writing on the hilt though I can’t read it.”
Molly O'Neill, Greenteeth
