The Darkness Dreaming is a cosy high fantasy novel that is perfect for an exciting, upbeat escape from the real world. Content appropriate for all ages.
Adele Andersen was born in Adelaide, South Australia. Concerned that she was never going to leave home, her parents left her on a horse yard in the UK with an open return ticket after an overseas wedding. This was ostensibly a “character building” exercise, and one which definitely worked…but turned out rather more permanent than her poor parents expected.
Adele has a fitness bootcamp in West London and teaches fitness online. After many years in London flats she has escaped to Berkshire to an actual house with a garden, garage and no parking restrictions (bliss).
She would be a crazy cat lady except that she’s married to singer Rasmus Bom Andersen, who is even louder than she is (and that’s really saying something).
The Darkness Dreaming is her first novel and took twenty seven years to complete. She’s hoping the next books will be finished significantly faster.
