Janna G. Noelle (she/her) is a Canadian historical fiction writer, wanderer, and all-around workhorse who resides on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, colonially known as Vancouver, British Columbia. She was born and raised on the complete opposite side of Turtle Island in Mi’kma’ki (colonially Halifax, Nova Scotia).

Her writing is set in the pre-modern (medieval and classical) era, which she uses to explore intersections between parts of humanity’s heroic/mythic past and the origins of many of the same societal issues and restrictive perceptions we grapple with today.

A former park warden and environmental educator, Janna now works in the non-profit sector as a program manager, strategic researcher/evaluator, and advocate for anti-racism and social justice. When not working on her latest novel or tackling her mountainous to-read pile, her hobbies include bike-riding, running up and down hills, belting classical crossover and 80s love songs, travelling, and tramping through the woods with her field guides.
