Her journey to becoming an author began when she mustered the courage at 25 to pursue her childhood dream of writing. In 2018, she sold her first novel, Sky in the Deep, which focused on young adult themes, marking the beginning of her writing career.
Sky in the Deep follows the tale of Eelyn, a young warrior whose life is upended when she witnesses her supposedly deceased brother fighting for the enemy on the battlefield.
The first Fable novel in the YA series was published in 2020, captivating readers with its enthralling story about a resilient girl abandoned on a perilous island by her father. perilous
Fable's quest to reunite with her father and find her place in the challenging world around her struck a chord with readers, offering a refreshing take on the realm of YA fiction with its feminist pirate narrative.
In 2022, Young's fantasy novel Spells for Forgetting delves into the enthralling tale of Emery Blackwood, whose quiet existence on the misty, folklore-laden shores of Saoirse Island.
