Fantasy, Historical, Horror, LGBTQ+, Romance, Science Fiction
BJ Sikes is a 5'6"" ape descendant who is inordinately fond of a good strong cup of tea, Doc Marten boots, and fancy dress. I live with one large cat, two sweet teenagers, and one editor-author, plus an array of chickens in a place very unlike my homeland. My fave genre is historical fantasy with themes of a woman’s struggle for agency but I also write gothic horror and science fiction. I have published three full length novels, and a multitude of short stories in anthologies.
I run the Authors’ Salon and Authors’ Alley at Clockwork Alchemy, a steampunk convention in the San Francisco Bay Area. In my day job, I write and edit scientific publications for a university.
I like words. I also like tea, chocolate, cats, and chickens, not necessarily in that order. When I am not playing with words, you might find me mucking about in the garden.
