Deva Fagan

Thank you!

Hi Tammy! I have an eligibility question that the Astounding Award folks were unable to answer and they directed me to you, but I haven't found any other way to reach you online. Is there a way I can reach you directly?

Seeing talk of various award lists has reminded me to ask: if anyone here is a member of the Mythopoeic Society & would like a copy of House of Dusk to read (& consider nominating for the 2026 Mythopoeic Award for adult novel) please reach out! I would love to get you a copy!

“HOUSE OF DUSK is a novel that’s very light on angst. It’s vivid and well-paced, with complex and compelling characters.” @hawkwing_lb reviews new work from @devafagan.bsky.social

Hoping so! My next adult fantasy is unrelated but fingers crossed for the other Houses eventually, publishing gods willing..!

❤️ Thank you! But I'm sorry you're ailing! I hope you feel better soon!!

I'm so grateful to all the librarians out there reading and sharing my MG books!

Such an addictive site! But just so credit (or is it blame? 😅 ) goes where it's deserved, it was Jenn who shared the link originally!

Massachusetts friends, here is an organization for you to check out!

A girl with blonde hair wearing blue overalls looks through a spyglass as she floats down a sparkling, light-dappled forest river on a raft made up of woven rainbow dragons. There are seven dragons, each a different color of the rainbow, and they overlap to create a white glow beneath the girl’s feet. In the back are mossy trees and tall river reeds.

Congratulations on the book release!!!

Looks amazing!!

Beautiful!!!

I loved that book!! Lots of cool inspiration for writing fantasy in it too...

Thank you so much for reading!!

If you have any burning questions for me about House of Dusk, tea, travel, Maine, dayjobs, LARP, my dog, or writing and publishing I'm doing an AMA (plus book giveaway!) on reddit today! www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

Ah, thank you for sharing this!!! 😊 ❤️

Thank you to the Fantasy Cafe for featuring my guest post where I gush about real world history and some of my favorite sources that can inspire fantasy worlds!

Mad Sisters of Esi by Tashan Mehta Feels Like a Lucid Dream - Reactor An ever-shifting fever dream of a slipstream story.

Tashan Mehta's lush prose reads as a hazy fairy tale; its ruminations on setting and sisterhood, pieced from different narrators across different formats, earns Mad Sisters of Esi its position as one of Reactor's most highly anticipated novels of the year:

Fantasy religions often feel like reskins either of ancient Greek or Norse pantheons or of the medieval Catholic church. But what more interesting choices can we make when building faith within an invented world?

@devafagan.bsky.social joins us to explore some of the options!

Please come and ask me questions next week! I will happily chat about House of Dusk, reading, writing, publishing, worldbuilding, gaming (currently playing Blue Prince and loving it!), LARPing, tea, travel, my dog, and really anything else that makes me happy!

Thank you!!!

The Big Idea: Deva Fagan One wrong turn doesn’t mean you’re going the wrong way entirely, and in author Deva Fagan’s case, her wrong turns ended up steering her exactly where she needed to be. Follow alon…

Ooooooooh @devafagan.bsky.social has a post up on @scalzi.com 's blog about the 20-years-in-the-making creative saga of HOUSE OF DUSK (out today)! I was with her for most of this journey and it's so fantastic to see this book assume its badass final form!!! whatever.scalzi.com/2025/08/26/t...

You did! It's my husband's name so we probably aren't directly related though you never know since I do have an Irish great-grandma!

It definitely would not be the book it is today without your support, encouragement and critical feedback over the years! ♥️♥️♥️

So, so grateful to you for all your support and encouragement Steph! ♥️♥️♥️
