ⓘ About Lucy Tempest
Lucy has been trying to write stories since she learned how to read, and won awards in several student writing competitions for her short stories, however the very first time Lucy finished a full length novel was at the age of fourteen. She followed that up by writing at least twenty novels which have been lost or discarded through the years, along with sometimes writing fanfiction, which served her as great practice. After many failed attempts at rewriting one such discarded stories, she decided she’d start over from scratch and start plotting out what would end up becoming “Thief of Cahraman” in late 2015. After a bunch of rewriting and reworking, she released “Thief of Cahraman” in mid-2018, with all of “Fairytales of Folkshore” series planned out.
