BIO (Short Version)

If you want to know about me, read one of my books.
Or ask my mom, she’ll tell you.

BIO (Medium Version)

I have no good excuse for the way I write. I lived in a normal, loving, suburban home, studied hard, went to college, went to graduate school, got married, had babies, and settled down in northern Connecticut. Despite this wholesome lifestyle, I was clearly corrupted by fairy tales, puppet visionaries, British humour and graphic novels. As a result, I write dark, quirky, and sometimes humorous speculative fiction.

“[V]irtuoso prose….”
— Publisher’s Weekly

Recommended for “extreme fans of Melissa Marr [and] Cassandra Clare”
— Kirkus Reviews

“The Prose is simply stunning…With her vivid fantastical landscape, evocative descriptions…and facility with powerfully grotesque imagery, Metcalf is a stylist to watch.”
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“With this dazzling debut novel, the author proves herself a highly talented wordsmith.”
— Connie Goldsmith for New York Journal of Books

“This is an unique twist on the usual paranormal tale with a strong Latina protagonist. Creative and very intriguing, I recommend this tale to those who love different tales with a surreal flavor.”
— Kim Baccellia for The Young Adults Book Central

“…a startlingly original tale that haunts long after the last page has been read.”
— Susan VanHecke, The Red Room via Authorlink

“You’ll love it if… You were all about Twilight, but now you’re so over the whole vampire/werewolf thing. Luminous still has tons of romance and fantasy, but with a totally original plot that is nothing like you’ve ever read before!”—SEVENTEEN magazine
