Jen Fawkes is the author of DAUGHTERS OF CHAOS, a literary alternate history in which a female Union spy discovers a secret society of magical women that spans millennia. Charles Yu called the book "a dazzling synthesis of history, myth, and sheer invention," and Kelly Link said, "Jen Fawkes's writing--and her characters--are ferociously, radiantly compelling." According to PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY's starred review, DAUGHTERS OF CHAOS is a "Dazzling Historical fantasy . . . both the historical and fantastical elements come alive in Sylvie’s suspenseful narration, which is interwoven with the text of the imaginary play. Fawkes wows with this wildly original tale.”​ Jen's first book, MANNEQUIN AND WIFE, was a 2020 Shirley Jackson Award Nominee, the winner of the 2023 Phillip H. McMath Post-Publication Book Award, and a Foreword INDIES gold medalist. Her collection TALES THE DEVIL TOLD ME was a Foreword INDIES silver medalist, one of Largehearted Boy’s Favorite Collections of 2021, and a finalist for the 2022 World Fantasy Award for Single-Author Story Collection. Locus has called Jen’s work “witty and dark, extravagant and savage,” and according to LIBRARY JOURNAL, she is “a writer to watch.” Her short fiction has won numerous awards, including the 2021 Porter Fund Literary Prize, and has appeared in One Story, Lit Hub, The Iowa Review, swamp pink, Best Small Fictions, and many others. A two-time finalist for the Calvino Prize for fabulist fiction, Jen lives in Little Rock, Arkansas.
