Long Bio

Misty Massey was nine years old when she sat down and wrote four pages in longhand of an original story in which James West and Artemus Gordon of The Wild, Wild West chased a brilliant young jewel thief called the Black Fox. It was a perfectly dreadful example of a Mary Sue story (because, of course, Misty was the Fox). Misty has often thought she should have gotten the credit for inventing fanfiction. While she still has the pages tucked away, there’s no amount of money that might tempt Misty to share them publicly (at least, not enough that’s been offered yet!), but this is concrete proof that Misty wanted to make up stories for life.

Misty spent the next twenty years crafting short stories and sending them out to small-press magazines, collecting rejection slips, and occasionally succeeding in selling one for copies. Eventually she honed her skills well enough that someone paid her real money for her work. These days she is the author of the Mad Kestrel series of rollicking magic adventures on the high seas. She is a co-editor of The Weird Wild West and Lawless Lands: Tales of the Weird Frontier, and she is a founding member of Magical Words. Her short fiction has appeared in many anthologies, including Dragon’s Lure, Rum and Runestones, Cinched, and the Rogue Mage anthology Triumphant, and she’s working on a series of Shadow Council novellas for Falstaff Press featuring the famous gunslinger Doc Holliday. She edits for Falstaff Books and Mocha Memoirs Press, and is an acquisitions editor for Loreseekers Press.When she’s not writing, Misty plays the cheerful, sundrenched cleric Malibu on the Calamity Janes podcast (sister show to the Authors & Dragons podcast.)
