Felicity J Rumble is an Australian author of Māori and European descent, based in Canberra. A mother of five, she writes stories that blur the line between mythology, memory, consciousness and the hidden architecture of reality.
Her work is drawn to the space where the cosmic meets the deeply human- where ancient truths, emotional survival and the search for meaning collide. Through layered speculative fiction, philosophical themes, and emotionally grounded storytelling, she explores the idea that nothing is random, no life is insignificant, and even suffering may carry a deeper pattern.
She wrote The Resonance Cycle because it didn't exist yet- and because somewhere out there is a woman who needs to know she was never broken. She was being rebuilt.
Dissonance is a haunting, atmospheric sequel that deepens Elara’s journey as dreams, memories, and reality begin to blur. The story leans into emotional and psychological transformation, creating a dreamlike narrative where mythology and modern life intertwine. Rather than focusing on fast-paced plot, the book builds mood, symbolism, and inner tension. Elara’s shifting perception and unraveling reality are compelling, even when things become intentionally abstract. Overall, it’s a reflective and immersive read that will resonate most with readers who enjoy metaphysical, character-driven speculative fiction.
