author | essayist | video creator

Maddi Bluhme is a multi-genre author based in Colorado. She holds a BFA in Creative Writing and is devoted to blending literary fiction with genre fiction. She enjoys writing nuanced characters whose struggles and triumphs are universally understood, even if their exact circumstances lean on the side of the fantastical. She is passionate about writing accessible yet substantive stories that provide entertainment and some food for thought. She helps other authors do the same.

current projects:

  • The sequel to This Cruel Fate. Xolia continues to wrestle with who she is and who she believes she should be. As Atlas continues to defy her, she finds herself forced to take more drastic measures.

  • The first installment in a romantic science fantasy. This lovers to enemies promises yearning, angst, and explores questions of self-identity, family, and whether or not we really act with a choice.

  • A standalone fantasy inspired by 70s and 80s strange goblin-core fantasy. Think The Last Unicorn, The Never-Ending Story, The Labyrinth, and The Dark Crystal.

Keep up with my non-fiction work on my blog. I am primarily interested in exploring culture and our individual experience is defined by our collective one.
