Enjoy your stay and be careful of the monsters haunting the night...

As a thank you for signing up, you can view a free short story called Night Sprite here. It's a flash fiction I wrote about the creation of the moon.  

A bit more about me is that I write Young Adult and Adult fantasy. I love writing LGBTQIA+ fantasy, dark fantasy, and twisted fairy tale and mythology retellings. I love world building and researching combat skills and hobbies for my books. If you want to get a good idea of what inspires me and my writing style, check out Aimee Carter, Kristin Cashore, or Maria V. Snyder. Maria V. Snyder's book Poison Study actually inspired my username on Twitter, ButterflysDust.

Wanderingteacherbooks became my brand name because I love to travel, teach, write, and read. I wanted to put all those things into one brand name. I lived in Japan for 1 year and wrote a Japan travel blog, I teach ESL, and I write and read tons of books mostly of the YA fantasy variety. That's all about me for now.

What about you, what's your story?

P.S. In order to make sure you only receive the emails you want, you can choose the types of emails you'll receive by clicking here. Otherwise, you'll receive the same stuff that everyone else gets. I won't sell your email or send you boring emails. If you decide the newsletter isn't for you, you can click the unsubscribe button at the bottom or change your preferences. I do offer a bi-weekly and monthly newsletter option if once a week is too much.

Sincerely,

Julia Goldhirsh (they/he), author
