Just a little constellation of stardust and stubborn wytch-will, making my way through this chaotic spell called life. I was raised by the whispers of madmen and mystics-Lovecraft, Matheson, Chandler, King, Hammett, Le Guin, Poe, Tolkien, Chambers, Paolini-all of them slipping strange truths into my tea.

When I'm not conjuring stories, I'm weaving music with my voice and guitar (I have my debut album coming out later this year: Shelby Specter: Aether). I spend my downtime doting on my familiars-both furred and shelled-hoarding graphic novels and tomes of fantasy, mystery, sci-fi, and horror like a good book dragon should. I also wander outside when the moon calls me, chasing stars, rivers, and tree-sighs.

I've had the writing itch since kindergarten, when I first scribbled a tale about a balloon-eating dragon (chaotic neutral, obviously). Wattpad is my first step into the public circle, where I can cast my stories into the world and see who answers back.

Don't be shy-come say hello. I love meeting fellow spell-slingers and story-walkers. ✨🔮
