About

E.V. Thornback didn't set out to write about desire. She set out to write about women: women becoming themselves, women who've been overlooked or diminished, women who discover—sometimes late—that they contain more than they were told.

The desire turned out to be inseparable from the rest.

She writes under a pseudonym because some stories need a room of one's own, and some rooms need a door that closes.

Her debut novel, Gods and Martyrs, is a sapphic epic fantasy about revolution, redemption, and gods who demand too much. Headshots, the first installment of The Muse Series, is a literary erotica novella set in a Chicago photographer's studio—a woman arrives for headshots and leaves having found what she didn't know she was looking for.

She is working on the next installment.
