Tania Fordwalker splits her time between two small islands, one quirky and subtropical, the other chilly and gothic. She’s usually found either skating or writing (or thinking about skating or writing, which surely counts). Part of the Clarion West “Ghost Class” of 2020, she has published work in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, PodCastle, Reckoning, and more. At any other time in history she’d almost certainly have been burned at the stake.
