C.M. (Cait) Spivey is a speculative fiction writer and the author of the high fantasy novel From Under the Mountain and the horror novella series, “The Web.” Their enduring love of fantasy started young, thanks to authors like Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Diane Duane, Tamora Pierce, and many more. Now, they explore the rules and ramifications of magic in their own works—and as a non-binary panromantic asexual, they’re committed to queering their favorite genres.
