Michele Stuart (she/her) writes fantasy, horror, paranormal romance, mystery, and poetry (so far). She especially enjoys tales of haunted New England, the supernatural deep south, and magical Latin America. A U.S. native, she spent most of her life in and around the Witch City, Salem, MA. She and her husband now live near Atlanta, and are quietly saving the world by keeping an absurd number of house plants from breaking out and consuming everything. They are addicted to art and books, which they squeeze in between the plants. In former lives, Michele mucked stalls, sold books that other people wrote, and designed and built cloud architectures. She also draws, plays tabletop and video RPGs, and studies Spanish.
