About

The Author:

Hi!  I’m H. Anthe Davis, (currently) self-publishing fantasy author.  I live among cacti, under the devastating glare of the sun — which is why I’m rarely encountered outside.  I don’t have any pets, but I do have a bunch of geckos that cling to my window at night, waiting for moths to come into eating range.  I like to think of them as pets I don’t have to walk.

I drink too much coffee, stay up way too late, watch a lot of bad horror movies, listen to weird electronic music, and play more fantasy MMOs than is healthy or productive.  But they have such great character generation capabilities…

You can find me most commonly right here, but I also have a presence on Facebook and Goodreads!  My Amazon profile also tracks my blog updates.

The First Project:

The War of Memory Cycle takes place in an animistic fantasy world of grasping imperialists, god-directed cults, spirit-touched shapeshifters, man-made monsters, suppressed (and suppressive) magic, chemical and arcane mind-control, and the civilians and soldiers trapped in the middle of it all.  It has touches of both science fiction and horror, and includes strong themes of identity, trauma, religious conflict, LGBTQIA+, and some serious body horror.  I enjoy writing that last part maybe a bit too much.

The Second Project:

Tzimayat by Curselight follows the exploits of a spy, jungle guide, and sometime assassin of Saint Silence as she attempts to navigate the spiritual and secular politics of a continent under ongoing invasion — both military and cultural.  Or rather, while she crashes through all of it machete-first.  Blood-drinking undead, revenant goddesses, shapeshifting ghouls, obnoxious knights, exceptionally large snakes, sassy stone cats, dune-buggy duels, multiple types of death magic, and the occasional friendly lizard all feature.  It has touches of steampunk but a whole lot more horror, especially body horror, and includes strong themes of identity, found family, generational trauma, LGBTQIA+, and wanting to throttle the people you love.  Possibly for their own good.
