About Em Rowene
Em is a storyteller and a dandy who delights in all things imaginary. While most of their work sits at the crossroads between old school fantasy and creeping gothic horror, they can also be found picking up a magnifying glass or exploring other planets. They are the author of Fractured Magic, a haunting epic fantasy about political and personal accountability, and The Case Files of Sheridan Bell, a fantasy novella series echoing the Golden Era of detective fiction.
Beyond their books, Em is an attorney with extensive knowledge of fanworks + copyright. They have a B.A. in English Composition and several years' experience as a SFF developmental editor. When not writing, they can be found reading or gaming, likely trapped beneath one of their five cats.
