J.W. Webb

Fantasy Author and Creator of the Legends of Ansu

J.W. Webb is an English fantasy author and the creator of the Legends of Ansu saga. Raised in England and educated in Battle, East Sussex, he grew up immersed in the worlds of Middle-earth, Earthsea, and Narnia. Fabulous magical stories that inspired a lifelong fascination with myth, adventure, and flawed heroes.

Before becoming a full-time writer, Webb served in the Queen’s Guards, worked as a scaffolder in London, and drove big rigs hauling steel, bricks, timber and milk across Britain––though not in the same truck! He has sailed on tall ships and hitchhiked across America from Alaska to Key West. All these experiences helped shape the rugged landscapes, restless wanderers, and hard-won journeys found throughout his fiction.

The arrival of Microsoft Word finally gave him the means to build the vast world that had lived in his imagination for years. That world became Legends of Ansu, an epic fantasy saga spanning twenty books. Its opening sequence, Dawn of Legends, comprises Archer’s Moon, The Harp and the Raven, The Panther Queen, and Gol. These prequel tales are followed by Rise of Legends, set 1000 years later, and Fall of Legends, set 2000 years later. The series introduces readers to a wild set of characters, including: Corin an Fol, Garland the Journeyman, Jaran Saerk the Berserker, Arraleen Caze the Dreamslayer.

Webb now lives on a farm in northwest Georgia with his wife, Mindy, and an ever-changing collection of pets and visiting critters. When he is not writing, he enjoys seventies music, growing peppers, and a little light yoga.

The adventure begins with Archer’s Moon—Book One of Dawn of Legends.
