She/her. PhD in Egyptology, now I write fiction. The Night Library of Sternendach is my novella in sonnets. The Glass Garden is space horror and family drama.
Will boost almost anything with a bat in it.

My two book covers, against a starry background. STERNENDACH has red bat wings, a book, and fangs. THE GLASS GARDEN has a kaleidoscope image on it.

Firebird Book Award and Independent Press Award winner.

This cinematic dark fantasy novel is brimming with twists, tension, and high stakes. Unapologetically neurodivergent. Ruthlessly anti-authoritarian. Fully unique and thought provoking.

Thanks, Gabino, and happy #FridayReads!
I post Bookshop links to support local bookstores nationwide. A lot of local bookstores are also fighting the good fight in places like MN, where I happened to place IN THE HOUSE OF IN BETWEEN (on Lake Superior in Grand Marais). Buy a book, fight fascism!

Thanks, Gabino! Shamelessly plugging my newest story "Onions" out on The Brussel's Review Dark Anthology, about a prison janitor whose retirement is upended by a culinary memory.

But if that doesn't float your soap, maybe some of the other terrors by brilliant authors will! bit.ly/4rhINC2 ⤵️

Angela Mi Young Hur has a new book coming out, about fairy tales, and I've only just heard about it? I have been distracted.

Adding to my TBR now.

I wrote an adult literary fantasy for my kids & all of us children of borderless fairy tales & cross-cultural myth, about preserving our stories & histories & passing them on, defying those who seek to deny, diminish or erase us.

Listening to Elfman's BATMAN RETURNS score today. I'd love it more if he didn't just repurpose swaths of it for THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

My books are on Amazon, but you certainly don't have to buy them there and I'd rather you didn't. Go to the publisher, @lfpbooks.bsky.social. Go to Bookshop. Go to the library!

I used to get an Entertainment coupon book every year, forever, so I looked them up to see if they still exist and they do but it's an app now and they bundled with some other program so never mind.
