About

Mystic Neptune

Mystic Neptune was born and raised on an island surrounded by temperate rainforests, lakes, mountains, and endless ocean. She started writing books when she was twelve, and by the age of fourteen she’d written her first novel. It was about an elven space princess whose evil stepmother messed up her trans-dimensional portal trip to university and sent her to a war-torn restricted universe instead. It was very cheesy, and the ultimately-nine-book series was lost forever on the family PC (Windows 95, anyone?) that died a very final death the summer she was sixteen. By then, Mystic was living with her very sick single mother and her little brother, and working nights to help pay the bills. There was a little time to read during her school breaks, but not for much else—and no money to replace the home computer. So she filled notebooks with the beginnings of stories and eventually got a laptop in college. Around that time, she also met the love of her life, who read just as much as she did, and they got married shortly after a terrible accident befell her . . . One day when Mystic was walking to the mall, an iron fence from a construction site fell on her. She suffered from amnesia so bad that she had to relearn English and re-meet all her friends and family. She even walked past her mother in the street and didn’t recognize her. But it’s OK! She got better!Once she could read again, Mystic got into isekai because she was tired of picking up books only to remember she’d already finished them. Isekai was new at the time, so she didn’t need to worry that her silly memory would come back halfway through a story and spoil the ending. Mystic enjoys reading light novels, webnovels, LitRPG, gamelit, and fantasy. She also loves middle grade and YA books. Her favorite authors/heroes are Patricia C. Wrede, Tamora Pierce, and Diana Wynne Jones.In Mystic’s spare time, she writes and does edit-swap date nights with her husband, Jolly Jupiter. O he of famed dwarven comedy! She also runs after her daughter, Phoebe Vaara. Phoebe is named after Saturn’s moon, and Vaara means Danger in Finnish and Stranger in Greek. Phoebe is a rockstar social diva toddler who hikes mountains and has more friends than both her parents combined, so it fits. Mystic is probably writing right now.
