C.S. Devereaux

C.S. Devereaux's love for stories of everyday people grew out of listening to her grandmothers tell about their lives. An artist-turned-author, she often transferred observations of people and nature to canvas and paper before finding her voice in fiction.

The extraordinary opportunity to live in major cities across the US and parts of Asia — and to travel across Europe — broadened her world-view. From walking among ancient ruins in Greece to exploring the 15th-century lanes of Kyoto, Japan, to visiting artist colonies in St. Petersburg, Russia, talking to those who live alongside ancient artifacts left its indelible impression on her thinking and her writing.

Today, C.S. Devereaux lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where a stunning office view of Lookout Mountain inspires her daily. She has published essays in The Sun magazine, short stories in Chattanooga Writers Guild anthologies, and in Realms of the Fantastic, a recent release from Jumpmaster Press.
