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
Maeve and the Other Marsh
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
