Arwen Falvey

Author and Artist

Arwen Falvey is an author, artist, and generally unhinged person who enjoys all things magical, mystical, dark, weird, and whimsical. With over 40 years of creative writing under her belt, including an article for The CBC and her debut novel, Swinging on Gates, she has a long, ink-stained history of creativity and escapism. Her experiences with queerness, disability, otherness, abuse, trauma, mental illness, and chosen family inform her work, offering a unique perspective on universal struggles. She lives on the South Shore of Nova Scotia with her daughter and three cats who enjoy it when she makes them battle tanks out of cardboard boxes.
