Esker’s novels show grown-ass women facing extraordinary fantasy or sci fi predicaments while navigating the challenges of mid-to-late life. Her short stories are published in Abyss & Apex, Plott Hound, and Soul Jar: Thirty-one Fantastical Tales by Disabled Authors. She mulls and writes and lives and hikes in Portland, Maine where she never wears makeup, deplores what's happening in the world, and does her small bit to sort it out.
