May Dawney

When May was a child, her father read Asimov and Zelazny to her. As a teenager, she gravitated toward science fiction, (future) fantasy, dystopian, and occult stories, even though there was never a character she, as a queer woman, could fully identify with. May’s motivation to write comes from the desire to create stories where women turn to women once they stop the apocalypse—be it a global or a personal one. She wants to write the stories she wishes her father could have read to her as a child: riveting tales with a heroine who kicks ass and just so happens to be gay.

Her dystopian, post-apocalyptic novel "Survival Instincts" comes out in March 2018 under Ylva Publishing. Her YA urban fantasy novel, "The Kincaid Chronicles: Origins," comes out August 2018 under Eos Publishing. She also has a line of writing advice guides scheduled for 2018 and 2019.
