edit data

Madeleine E. Vaughan is an Anglo-French author from the United Kingdom. Head writer and founding member of the Hampshire-based gaming studio Enigmatic Studios, she writes full-time and lectures in Creative Writing.

A keen lover of mythology, Madeleine’s nomadic upbringing has brought her in contact with a wide collection of cultures and folklore, which have strongly influenced her music, art and writing.

Her particular interest in faeries was incited by her mother who, one day, unwittingly implored Madeleine to ‘write something nice for a change, with faeries’. This request birthed the first draft of The Sons of Thestian, and the subsequent start of Madeleine’s career. Faeries, as it turned out—to Madeleine’s delight—are utterly horrible.

Entering competitions is a fantastic way of building up a
