Dayle A. Dermatis is the author or coauthor of many novels (including snarky urban fantasy Ghosted and YA lesbian romance Beautiful Beast) and more than a hundred short stories in multiple genres. Called the mastermind behind the Uncollected Anthology project, she also edits anthologies in her spare time. Her first novel, Cat Scratch Fever (coauthored with Teresa Noelle Roberts), received four stars from Romantic Times Book Reviews, who called the book a “delightful, amusing and sexy whodunit.” Her mystery story “Voices Carry” appeared in Snowbound: Best New England Crime Stories 2017, and her thriller story “The Scent of Amber and Vanilla,” called “a nail-biter” by Publisher's Weekly, received an honorable mention in The Year's Best Crime & Mystery 2016.

Dayle lives in a historic English-style cottage with a tangled and fae back garden, in the wild greenscapes of the Pacific Northwest. In her spare time she follows Styx around the country and travels the world, which inspires her writing. She’d love to have you over for a virtual cup of tea or glass of wine at DayleDermatis.com, where you can also sign up for her newsletter and support her on Patreon.
