Zoey Hedman is a speculative fiction writer from South Florida, the land of manatees, medianoches, and miscreants. She conjures up new stories from her home in Cutler Bay. More than anything else, Zoey adores getting lost in creative entertainment. The joy of being absorbed in awesome books, stories, movies, games, and shows inspired her to start creating fictional works of her own. Zoey started writing short speculative fiction in late 2016 and has been tapping away at her keyboard ever since. Writing aside, Zoey’s transgender, queer, an inclusive Norse Pagan, and a fledgling kitchen witch. She loves gaming, cooking, and cats, and spends far too much time procrastinating. She also spent a few years wreaking havoc on mechanized combatants across the state of Florida with ELK Robotics, a local robot combat team she co-founded in 2015.
