Hi! I'm fantasy author Jessie Roy.
I write sharp, atmospheric fantasy for people who love ambiguity, dilemmas, murder, miracles, and the Moon. Sign up to receive my newsletter, Moon Letters: brief updates, story thoughts, and the occasional secret.

- I signed up for the Autumn 2025 Writing Battle contest, and wow what a rush! It's anonymously peer-judged, so unfortunately I can't give details, but it's a vampire romance, and it was super fun to write. Wish me luck!
- Happy NaNoWriMo to those who celebrate!

- "Rice Child, Dragon Child" found a job! It was accepted by Flash Fiction Online and will be out in 2026!
- I also added a tarot-based writing prompt generator to the site. Now it's easy to use tarot in your writing! If you write something with this, I'd love to hear about it.
