Welcome
K.S. Shay
Fantasy Writer

Hello there
I’m Kate. I’m a fantasy writer with a soft spot for symbolic bodies of water, birds acting weirdly, and sleep-deprived protagonists. My pastimes include spending all my money on concert tickets and killing houseplants.

Books
Portrait of a Witch Undone
Ever wondered who was behind the largest art heist in modern history – the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist in 1990? Ever think about it so much that you wrote a book where the art was stolen by witches to imprison a demon? Haha me neither…
Coming Fall 2026


Divine Incoherence
My central Pennsylvania fantasy. A dying mining town on the bank of an acidic lake, a legendary magical weapon, a graduate student, and, of course, government contractors. What could go wrong?
Coming 2027
