Ruthann Jagge is from Upstate NY, where her favorite month, October, is otherworldly. Folklore, gothic elements, dark fantasy, and mythology inspire her memorable characters and evocative settings. Her work as an author includes a novella, a co-authored novel, reviews, articles, and many short stories featured in successful anthologies.

She’s been a guest on compelling interviews and professional panels where she enjoys sharing the creative storytelling process. New work releasing in 2025 includes a highly-anticipated sequel, a Southern Gothic horrormantasy, and several invitational projects.

Extensive travel and backyard superstitions influence her love of writing. Other passions include cooking, sewing, and dancing with her demons. She currently lives on a rural cattle ranch in Texas with her husband and his animals. A large, blended family keeps her sane most of the time. Member HWA/BFS.
