Courtney Floyd writes speculative fiction and is the creator and producer of two podcasts: Victorian Scribblers and The Way We Haunt Now. She grew up in New Mexico, where she learned to write in between tarantula turf wars and apocalyptic dust storms. She collects books, bones, and beetles – in no particular order of importance – and uses them in elaborate rituals to invoke her muses. When she’s not writing or podcasting, she likes to hike, invent elaborate vegetarian dishes, perform original music, and, of course, read everything she can get her hands on.
