    Phinnie serves as gardener and healer in a quiet area of the Slip, the place between worlds where travelers and objects sometimes land when doors and portals and wormholes fail.

Lilian Zenzi writes science fiction and fantasy, sometimes with romance and usually in queer normative worlds.

Genre agnostic as a writer and a reader, she likes to keep space for comfort, hope, and joy along with the kissing, conflict, and big ideas. She resents having to write a bio and would rather be in the garden or making art.
