Francesca McMahon was born in Oxford, England to a Scottish father and an Essex mother. She gained a BA in Creative Writing at Edge Hill University and was shortlisted for the university's Dame Janet Suzman Playwriting Award in 2019. Since graduating, Francesca has worked consistently in publishing while working on her writing of fantasy, horror and romance fiction, as well as various tabletop RPGs and screenplays. As a queer woman, her work is dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community, and she hopes that they will all find a home in her imaginary worlds.
