edit data

Margo is a software engineer by day and a writer of spicy ruin by night. Her stories feature morally grey characters, high stakes and haunting choices, and seldom come without a dose of emotional damage.
When Margo is not lost in books, hers or others’, she is travelling, gaming, or hiking. She currently lives in Prague but tends to move wherever curiosity pulls her.
