magic meets morality

writing stories where terrible decisions have consequences

George Elmer is an author of dark urban fantasy, writing for people looking for worlds with wit, a little magic, and the consequences of terrible decisions. At heart, she’s a history nerd who can’t help but make up stories.

hello there.

I’m George,
YOUR NEW WRITER FRIEND

George Elmer is a dark urban fantasy author, which is awesome because she writes books. She lives in rural England, an excellent source of both potential horror stories and rich history to chuck into those horror stories. She’s written creepy stories since she knew what a pencil was for. It’s just taken her forever to finish the projects she starts. When she’s not writing, George is researching medieval history or planning how to kill off characters in violent and unusual ways.
