Meet Callie Fowler
Writer of magical worlds, fantastical romance, and women who defy fate
Debut author Callie Fowler pens stories for readers who spent their childhoods irrationally angry about how quickly the heroine fell in love with Prince Charming.
Her stories center fierce, emotionally complex heroines navigating power, desire, and survival in worlds that rarely make room for softness.
She lives in Oregon with her husband and a household of thoroughly spoiled animals. When she’s not writing, Callie is usually curled up with an iced coffee and an audiobook she swore she’d save for her commute.
