About Me

Hi, I am Gillian, an Australian, living and working in the Midlands of the UK. I have always been hooked on fantasy genres, and have been writing my own short stories since I was a teen. My discovery of the entire Chinese family of fantasy genres, including Wuxia, Xianxia, and Xuanhuan has led me to create this site. I hope you enjoy exploring this world as much as I do!

How to Navigate The Master Blog Post Index

I have listed all my published blog posts on this page.  To make it easier for you. I have grouped them, either under their category, or their series name (if they are part of a series).  If you already know the series name, just click on the link in the Table of Contents.

I hope this will help you locate what you are looking for – and maybe even help you find things you weren’t looking for (but discover you desperately need!)
