edit data

Cullen McHael (they/them) writes fiction about heroic figures tackling complex problems with wit, good intentions, and bloody knuckles. Cullen lives in a crop circle carved into the vast cornfields of the American midwest, where the stars shine a little too brightly.

At various times Cullen has been a monk, an aid worker, a university instructor, a journalist, a film-maker, a circus acrobat, a spotter at a lighthouse, and a faint echo of breaking glass in a house occupied by two cats and too many doors.
