edit data

Iris Retzlaff (they/she) is a neurodivergent queer fantasy author from a tiny forgotten corner of the world.
They have a MA in British and American Studies, but like to say it’s in Escapism with a minor in Procrastination.

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

They also answer to Fen and can often be found on Instagram or occasionally 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.”
