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.

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 ⤵️

The thing is… if he gets out, good-hearted people will step up to replace the backpack and the hat. It won't make everything better, I know this, and I'm heartbroken even more for all the kids in detention whose losses go without the same attention.
