Courtney Floyd writes speculative fiction for the page and podcatcher. Her work often explores found family, embodiment & identity, neurodivergence, sibling relationships, death, ghosts, magic, and the way stories shape us.
She grew up in New Mexico, where she learned to write between tarantula turf wars and apocalyptic dust storms, and she currently lives at the bottom of a haunted mountain in the woods of Vermont with her partner and pets.

She hopes to one day put her PhD in late-Victorian fiction to good use by writing historical fantasy. Follow her on Twitter @cannfloyd
What readers are saying…
“H&D Plumbing.” Fireside Magazine (Issue 48, Oct. 2017).
“The piece points to a secular kind of faith, one that allows [the characters] to deal with what happens while not claiming at some moral superiority. They simply have the skills required for this service, and so they use them to make their living … So yeah, a refreshing and fun piece that was a blast to read!”
Charles Payseur, Quick Sip Reviews
“A Post-Modern Oracle.” Fireside Quarterly (2018).
“The piece is rather fun and funny, featuring a mesh of ancient power and modern (or post-modern) twists. The story illustrates a change in not only perspective but values from the stories about the old oracles, where fighting against prophecy means a person is doomed. This is a story that has learned from those older tales and taken a much different approach to fate and pride.”
