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 a few life plans pretty much overnight. Some other stuff has happened, too. (A prospective editor once told Camille when they submitted a query that nobody wanted to read about Brexit anymore, but even in 2025, that doesn't seem to be true? Still, it's worth saying that other things have indeed occurred.)

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.
