Award-winning author, JJ Carpenter, celebrates our personal stories and unearths our hidden histories through thrilling, terrifying tales. She brings an exciting blend of Australian historical fiction and horror.

JJ has been writing books since she was six years old - a collection of kooky tales she would staple together and hide in a shoebox under her bed. Join JJ as she journeys through haunted places and chilling mysteries across the beautiful country, and rich history, of Australia.

She was born in Canberra, Australia, and now lives in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. JJ spent her childhood in various locations, including the Barossa Valley, South Australia, and Hampshire, England. As an adult, she's spent much of her career in the South Pacific: Solomon Islands (twice), Vanuatu, Fiji and beyond.
