Justin Knepper writes paranormal fantasy for dreamers, misfits, and magic makers. His stories explore identity, found family, and the unseen forces that shape our world—often with queer heroes at the center.
When he’s not writing, he’s probably sipping too much coffee, collecting arcane curiosities, or wandering the liminal spaces between worlds.
