About Sage

The woman
behind the
weird little books.

Sage Bardot author portrait

I write across genres: usually somewhere between horror, romance, speculative fiction, dark humor, and the occasional idea that can't be left alone.

I’m drawn to stories that begin with something familiar and transform to unsettling. Sometimes they’re strange. Sometimes they’re tender. Sometimes they’re completely unhinged. Usually they’re more than one thing at once.

I love unique characters, strange premises, emotional mess, and stories that stay even after the last page. I don’t think every book has to fit neatly into one box. I just need it to feel like mine.
