ABOUT SHELLEY
I write queer, lightly fantastical historical fiction with plot, a surfeit of feelings, and flawed characters making bad life choices. Winner of the 2022 British Fantasy Awards for Best Novel and Best Newcomer; winner of the 2022 Astounding Award for Best Debut. Unhealthily obsessed with eunuchs, monks, monsterfuckers. They/them.
