Author bio

I love writing, community, and story-telling, all of which lead me to short story! I've been writing short stories in the fantasy/speculative fiction realm for a decade, but have recently started dabbling in other genres like fiction and horror. Growing up, I read a lot of Writer's Digest and something about being on Reedsy reminds me so strongly of that time. I find myself reading more stories than I write, but hopefully that will change in the New Year! My passion is writing, but my day job is a coffee shop manager. Fitting, isn't it? You can find me on Tumblr under the name caffeinewitchcraft or on Patreon under the same name
