Janey Reid is 17 years old and just starting out as a writer and artist. Currently she is working on a web comic with Mickey Clausen and Peter Zaragoza, called “My Guardian.” It focuses around the misadventures of a disgruntled guardian angel and his ex-best friend, who he has now been assigned to protect. It should be available soon so be on the look out!

“My greatest love, and seemingly only purpose in life, is drawing and writing. The way I see the world, everything is beautiful in its own way. From the puddles of after-rain lingering in an alley, to the majestic creatures that linger only in imagination- wonder is all around us, even in the darkest of places. My goal in life is simply to fall in love with writing and drawing every day, maybe even show others a sneak peak into my mind while doing so.”

Janey wrote the short story "To Have Know a God", illustrated by Yustian Intan Wulandari, about a vengeful warrior's terrible mistake and the God Inari who shows him the path to redemption, forming a very unusual relationship along he way.



"To Have Known a God" appears only in Fables for Japan, Book 3 - Now for sale Here!
