Hi, I’m RATH MERCURY. I write horror, fantasy, romance, and science fiction, always queer.
I’ve published in Stance on Dance, DASH Literary Journal, Avatar Review, and Jersey Devil Press. I’ve also worked as a choreographer, marketing consultant, web dev, open source leader, arts administrator, public speaker, and more. It’s been busy.
I live in New Mexico. When not writing, I play tabletop games, struggle with classical guitar, and stare at nature.
