Novels and Novellas

Out on the 15th of October 2025:

The Sylvester – Lost in Space: A Sci-fi adventure novella where a young officer has to save the passengers and crew of a space cruise ship doomed to slowly drift to a cold death in space. With a cinnamon roll/sassy pants MM pair, strip-the-rich vibes, and critiques of greedy companies.

In the works:

You Don’t Meet People at The Night Club (working title)
A fantasy romance novel set in a society divided between humans and supernatural creatures. Features demons, dragons, witches, and plain ol’ humans. Angsty vibes, dramatic main characters fighting against bigotry, and sarcastic banter abound.

In the works:

Step on the Cracks (working title)
A fluffy romance about building a new life and finding the courage to live our truth, with stray kittens, rock concerts, and more sarcastic banter (most essential part of my stories).

Short stories and Poetry

In the works:

Broadcast and Bloodstains
A collection of short stories with a horror flair and supernatural shenanigans galore. Get lost among witches, ghosts, people-trapping videogames, axe-wielding killers, mermaids, and mysterious beauty parlors…

Whilst you wait:

Magnolia Fay Writes on Substack
My home for writing updates, where many short stories and poems still live.

Right now, we have:

  • Beauticians who may or may not make human sacrifices;
  • Clumsy shapeshifting witches trying to reverse spells;
  • Poetry on war, tachycardia, anxiety;

And much more. It is free to read and subscribe. The first iteration of many of my stories came to life in this space.

Anthologies

Heart Art Anthology is a loving recurring endeavour polished by the wonderful Mistress M, owner and editor in chief of the Mistress M’s Community Publishing House.

She follows the philosophy that ‘by putting our work out into the world, our audience will find us’, and her anthologies are a safe space for authors to freely experiment with their vision.

Heart Art Anthology, Volume 3: Just Like That celebrates raw writing and contains more of my poetry.

Heart Art Anthology, Volume 2: The Pen & The Brush featured my poetry inspired by artworks and songs by Queen.

Heart Art Anthology, Volume 1 involved stories, poetry, non-fiction, and art. My short story How the Coven of the Flaming Peaches Fell Apart has appeared on this anthology.

I also took part in:

Open Bookcase 2: Collected Stories: collection of stories and poetry assembled by the English Creative Writing Group in Frankfurt, with the aim to reflect the diversity at the heart of the city and the wide range of genres and styles within the collective. My short storie Julie has appeared on this anthology.

Poetry and musings

Amazing community, home to many talented authors, where my poems and reflections always feel welcome. Here, I have written about family grief in many forms, about fears and life challenges, as well as shared some snippets of my stories. Plus, the cherry awards they give out are dangerously addictive.
