I am very grateful to all my extended witchy fam for the knowledge, skills, and insights they have shared over the years that helped ground this book in real-world occult scholarship (even if I do still take colorful liberties with it!) Deep thanks are owed to Del Tashlin, Caroline Kenner, Sara Mastros, Monika Kojote, Cat Firesong, Sabrina Mari, Ivo Dominguez Jr., and many others who may not even realize how much our interactions and their writing and insights taught me and influenced me over the years.
Great love goes out finally to my polycule and my family both of birth and choice. From my earliest crudely-lettered stories of childhood through today, I have been nurtured as a writer and storyteller and artist. In particular, Christine Smith, Carol Johnson, and David Thomas have been my fans, my cheerleaders, my lifelines, and my ports in stormy times of my life.
About the Author
Rebecca Rose Vassy is a writer, producer, performer, and teacher who now officially adds “novelist” to her slash-person identity. She has written and produced several original theater and short film scripts, usually under inadvisably-cramped conditions, and for the past decade has made her living by writing everything from blog posts to brochures to white papers to email copy. She is the host and producer of the underground hit show Smut Slam DC every month, and founded and manages the sex education blog for Lotus Blooms, an education-based, woman-owned adult store, a blog that was named to Kinkly.com’s list of Top 100 Sex Blogging Superheroes. She runs a Facebook group for witchy and occult folks and spent many years creating and running classes, rituals, and events for as many as 200 people at various Pagan festivals in the Mid-Atlantic including the 5-year Fires of Venus cycle.
She’s a Jersey girl by birth, a reluctant NYC expat by circumstance, and has now lived in the Washington, DC area far longer than planned after it snuck up and captured her heart. She shares her life with her partner of 26 years, her polycule, and her foster animals. With the publication of MetamorphosUS, she hopes she will finally feel she’s lived up to all that “potential” she was told she had as a child. Seek out her profanity-laced and opinionated rants and her internet and in-person shenanigans at divanations.com.
