J.T. Grobler

I live in Somerset West, with my awesome husband and phenomenal daughter. We share our space with two formidable, but kind souled, Staffordshire terriers – Misty Dusks Magical Gimli & Boldwin Lumos Nox.

When I’m not writing, I’m probably strolling with my furry friends through the local farmer’s vineyards or dawdling along the beach. I can often be found watching an active slipway.

I’m also blessed with a pair of African Grey parrots and a lovebird who love to jabber about what I said earlier.

My favourite authors while growing up were Enid Blyton, and Carolyn Keene. What bliss it was, solving those mysteries. And when I got my hands on Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, followed shortly by The Water Babies, a love of fantasy was born.

I got my first writing job from a third-grade teacher – 100 lines of I must not eat in class.
