edit data

Iris Retzlaff (she/they) has a MA in British and American Studies, but likes to say it’s in Escapism with a minor in Procrastination. They live in a tiny forgotten corner of the world with a head full of imaginary people and their stories.

While some of their stories are lighthearted and full of humour, others rather want to break your heart than make you laugh.

She can also usually be found on Instagram, screaming about books with like-minded book dragons (IG: fendassor), or on Tumblr @ fendassor-scribbles

“A crafty nightrunner died of late,
And found himself at Bilairy’s Gate.
He stood outside and refused to knock
Because he meant to pick the lock.”
