Hi! I'm Jeyla! I'm an author and blogger.
I write horror, fantasy, and science fiction for genre-focused journals and magazines. You can read some of my published work here.
I blog about writing, book trends, and fascinating book history. Old books, like Etiquette by Emily Polk and The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr, fascinate me. I track Book of the Month selections and their readers' preferences.
I'm currently writing a novel. I'm inspired by Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse Five), Stuart Turton (The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle), Drew Margary (The Hike), and Ernest Cline (Ready Player One).
My assistant, Thor, helps me write. I recommend all authors hire fantastic writing assistants.
I'm also a US Army veteran with a Master's degree in civil engineering. I became a full-time author when NFT projects hired me to write short stories, game writing, and worldbuilding outlines.
