About Me

Nadia Randle is an aspiring writer of fantasy fiction. She has spent far too many years living in the extraordinary and whimsical universes inside her head. Finally, she is putting pen to paper (or face to keyboard) to share them with the rest of the world. She hopes her stories will bring you as much joy as they do her.

Nadia’s background is literally history. She has a PhD in Ancient History, after spending nearly a decade immersing herself in Roman art and architecture. Her thesis explored images of trophies and captured arms and armour in Roman domestic decoration and what they might mean. Sometimes Nadia sees round things and her brain now automatically assumes it’s a shield. Her husband finds this endlessly amusing and continues to point out round things and yell “shield” to be “helpful.”

Nadia has worked as a museum Collections Manager and a museum educator. She has spent a little bit of time teaching Ancient History to undergraduates, as well as dabbling in secondary education between the soul-toughening stints in ‘course-fee-paying’ retail jobs, before finding her way back to a lifelong love of telling stories.

Nadia lives in London. She’s not really sure how she ended up here, as she’s a seaside and country girl at heart. It probably has a lot to do with her long-suffering and exceptionally supportive husband, Nick, who was worth leaving the seaside behind for and following into the pollutant-encrusted world of grey. Their domestic harmony is regularly upended by their emotionally unstable cockapoo, who thinks that every day is the best day ever, or the end of the world.

When she’s not writing, Nadia spends a lot of her time torturing her friends in long running D&D campaigns, or drinking ridiculous amounts of tea.
