edit data

I'm just a college grad who writes for a living.

Hi there! I'm I.O. Scheffer (pen name) and I'm a recently published author who lives in Ohio (a swing state).

I'm a fan of respectful debate, good anime, mystery and suspense, art of all kinds, singing, playing music on my piano and guitar, dogs, mythological beings, ghost hunting, and true crime.

I want to reach people who feel alone. I know what it's like to be bullied and ostracized (that was my elementary school experience, which sucked) so I incorporate these familiar themes into my writing. I love diversity (esp. as a person in the LGBTQ community) and focus particularly on intellectual diversity, which is integral to a functioning society.

Feel free to contact me through my twitter account ...more

Quotes by I.O. Scheffer (?)

“Though she got a warm, sentimental feeling from Telemachus' thoughtfulness, she preferred to be practical when dealing with personal safety. After all, she didn't know what risks she could take. When she took risks last semester, five people died.”
