Celestaire (they/she) is a writer, artist, and therapist. Writing and art have been a hobby for some twenty years now since they were a goofy little middle schooler, which is actually when both of Deny Me's protagonists were created. Z.M. grew up devouring fantasy, especially urban fantasy, and learning the writing craft from their dad, a published science fiction author. Z.M. lives in the city in Minnesota with their nerdy husband, a dramatic kindergartner, a very dumb puggle named Bilbo Waggins, and two perfectly angelic cats.view less
