N.R. Eccles-Smith

Queensland-based children’s and MG fantasy author and illustrator, Naomi, crafts stories shaped by adventurous quests, rich lore, hopeful themes, and dynamic characters. Cats and dragons are her companions. Starry nights and sunsets are where her reveries fly—and her creative enjoyments lean toward the strange, the scary, the curious, and the wondrous. She is the creator of the five-part fantasy series Dragon Calling, the illustrated children’s book Lonely the Wolf, and several award-winning YA & NA short stories. She plans to delve into other genres, including the paranormal and Gothic, and YA/ NA readerships.
