edit data

Jennifer Willis loves tales of magickal mayhem, unlikely adventure, and playful intrigue.

She is the author of that Haunted Coast paranormal cozy mystery series, the Norse-themed Rune Witch urban fantasy series, and the MARS science fiction romance books. Her “Why We Look Up” column for Sky & Telescope launched in October 2021. She is also the writer behind the (sadly discontinued) Northwest Love Stories feature in The Oregonian and has a byline in the British Fantasy Award-winning Women Destroy Science Fiction from Lightspeed, named one of NPR’s best books in 2014.

An amateur backyard astronomer and avid collector of backpacks, she lives in Oregon with her dude, a giant dog, and a cranky cat.
