Olivia Atwater writes whimsical historical fantasy with a hint of satire. She lives in Montreal, Quebec with her fantastic, prose-inspiring husband and her two cats. When she told her second-grade history teacher that she wanted to work with history someday,
she is fairly certain this isn't what either party had in mind. She has been, at various times, a historical re-enactor, a professional witch at a metaphysical supply store, a web developer, and a vending machine repairperson.

Olivia Atwater recommends
A Planet Called Happy (2026)
Riley August
"A Planet Happy Called Happy really did make me happy. This book was a cosy, scathing takedown of AI and surveillance capitalism - an echo of the primal scream we all let out each time a chatbot asks how it can help us. Riley August just writes science fiction at its best."
A Widow's Charm (2026)
Caitlyn Paxson
"A clever, unconventional fantasy with a fascinating magic system, A Widow's Charm was an absolute delight. All hail Lord Rollo and his darling waggy tail!"
The Keeper of Magical Things (2025)
Julie Leong
"The Keeper of Magical Things is the perfect cosy fantasy, with a healthy dose of sweet sapphic romance and gentle humour to round things out. (Also, an adorable dragoncat. That part is very important.) I deeply enjoyed every inch of this novel. In fact, I think I'm going to take my next vacation in Shpelling."
