JodiMarie Meyer

JodiMarie Meyer enjoys toeing the line between the mundane and the magical and exploring the dichotomies of good and evil; she primarily writes love stories, but not always. Definitely someone who got in trouble for daydreaming in class. Definitely someone who scribbles frantic story notes while stirring pasta. She makes her home in the Maryland countryside with her husband and their rabbit Mango. Her dog Melanie watches over them from that big backyard in the sky.

She is the author of one short story collection, magic/madness, and one novel, Luc & Lila. Currently, she is writing the second novel in The Chasm Trilogy, Desire & Deceit (2026).
