Slow Fantasy for a Frenzied Age

I write fantasy.

I don’t view it as an escape from the world; far from it. I just happen to believe that fantasy is the best way to describe the world without boring the pants off your audience. Fantasy is a funhouse mirror that shows us a distorted view of ourselves and our surroundings — bellies bulge, eyes pop out on stalks, the background twists itself into blobs and minarets — still, the image is no less our reflection.

Here at jedleonard.com, you can browse several of my short fiction offerings and blog posts, connect with me via Bluesky or email, and if you like what you see, why not throw me a few bucks on Ko-Fi? No pressure, though :)
