In 2019, Camille woke up with a beetle in their ear. After this, they decided nothing should be taken too seriously. A so-called lapsed academic, they hold a PhD in what's best described as art history. It should be noted that Brexit fucked up their career plans pretty much overnight.

Some other stuff has happened, too, of course. (According to a prospective editor who turned down a query, nobody wants to read about Brexit anymore. Camille wishes they had the luxury of not thinking about how it changed their life!)

These days, instead of panel papers and monographs, they write haunting, romantic stories influenced by folklore, regional histories, and witchy traditions. However, their lateral approach to connecting details and themes is still in evidence, with their fiction being described as "unexpected," "liminal," and "evocative."

Very importantly, that beetle is dead, as well as no longer where it shouldn't have been.
