About the author

Emmy Scanga

Emmy (they/them) is a non binary Chicano author who has led a life of creativity in many fields. From a craft filled childhood in Colorado, Emmy recently stepped away from designing and writing crochet patterns to finally pursue a world that has been building since 2001. Aiming to pay homage to their late abuelita (grandmother), Emmy taps into their love for all things mystical, haunting and those subjects hidden within the lives we live. Pushing for more representation of those around them, all of these stories are written to showcase not just their Chicano roots, but Indigenous, Black and gay siblings. As such, Emmy doesn't make any royalties on their works to honor the stories of not just the people they represent but in defiance of the systems in place. Storytelling unites us.

Emmy currently lives in New England with their partner Joe and void cat River Tam. You can find Emmy often crocheting, weaving, playing games and furthering decolonizing their personal witchcraft.
