About the author
Josie Jaffrey
61 books172 followersJosie is a dark fantasy, paranormal romance and historical fiction author who writes about lost worlds, dystopian societies and morally-ambiguous monsters (vampires are her favourite). She has published multiple novels and short stories. Most of those are set in the Silverse, an apocalyptic world filled with vampires and zombies.
Josie is the founding editor of indie fantasy magazine Indie Bites (www.silversunbooks.com) and the writer of the urban fantasy podcast Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective (www.jackvalentinepod.com).
She’s currently working on vampire murder mysteries (the Seekers series) and a YA series centred around Atlantis and the lost civilisations of the Mediterranean (the Deluge series). Researching the latter is the first time she’s used her Classics degree since university.
Josie lives in Oxford with her husband and two cats (Sparky and Gussie), who graciously permit human cohabitation in return for regular feeding and cuddles. The resulting cat fluff makes it difficult for Josie to wear black, which is largely why she gave up being a goth. Although the cats are definitely worth it, she still misses her old wardrobe.

Another wonderful issue of Indie Bites has dropped to brighten my weekend.
I do love these fantasy short stories. Some are surprising, twisty, mysterious and dark.
Others are sweet and cozy and wholesome.
We meet redacted gods, sapphic dragons, mermaids in museums, very handsome young men and royals in hiding.
Royals and Rogues is utterly delightful and I am already looking forward to the next issue.
Also, compliments for the cover designs. They are all so very beautiful and catch the mood of the stories.

A delightful collection featuring mysterious mermaids, dragons, magical princesses, and lost princes who'd much rather stay lost. I always enjoy the Indie Bites stories and this was no exception!
