Dewmini Wickramasinghe is a Sri Lankan-born author, landscape architect, and creative storyteller based in Warrington, England. Her work blends lyrical storytelling with rich settings, drawing from her deep love for nature, forgotten histories, and the quiet strength found in everyday people.
Her novel, Chronicles of the Mysterious Land, is an expanded and fully illustrated edition of the story first published online in 2015 alongside her original poems and a chilling short story titled The Box. That early collection gained attention on Booksie.com for its emotional depth, visual writing style, and ability to mix dark fantasy with reflective themes.
This newly released edition builds on those roots — weaving a more immersive world, enriched plotlines, and a full set of hand-selected illustrations that reflect the moody charm and eerie beauty of the story’s setting. Set in a misty 16th-century English village under the shadow of a legend and an oppressive king, the book invites readers into a layered tale of mystery, rebellion, and connection.
Professionally, Dewmini works as a landscape architect, designing parks, urban greenspaces, and resilient environments across the UK. Her background in environmental design influences her writing — bringing authenticity to the natural and built landscapes in her stories.
She began writing as a teenager, crafting fantasy plots, poetry, and horror tales in the margins of sketchbooks. Her passion for storytelling only grew stronger over the years, merging with her love of painting, illustration, and world-building. Today, she continues to explore that intersection — both through her fiction and visual work.
Outside of her creative work, Dewmini is also a passionate artist and martial artist. She paints, practices kickboxing, watches epic fantasy shows on Netflix, and finds joy in both fierce training sessions and quiet evenings filled with books and tea. She is also an advocate for women in creative industries and enjoys connecting with young readers and aspiring writers.
Chronicles of the Mysterious Land is just one chapter in her ongoing journey — a story born from imagination, shaped by experience, and shared with love.
