Genoveva Dimova is a fantasy author and archaeologist. Originally from Bulgaria, she now lives in Scotland with her partner and a small army of houseplants. She believes in writing what you know, so her work often features Balkan folklore, the immigrant experience, and protagonists who get into incredible messes out of pure stubbornness. When she's not writing, she likes to explore old ruins, climb even older hills, and listen to practically ancient rock music.

Harbour of Hungry Ghosts (2026)
(Chronicles of the Yiugwai Hunters, book 1)
Eliza Chan
"With a vibrant world, non-stop demon-slaying action, and a stubborn mess of a main character you can't help but root for, Harbour of Hungry Ghosts explores colonialism and the weight of familial expectations, set against the backdrop of a Hong Kong where Chinese folklore clashes with the intruding British. Propulsive, fun, and complex: this is the monster-hunting fantasy I've been craving!"
An Accident of Dragons (2026)
(Tales of Summer, book 1)
Cheri Radke
"Brimming with heart and humor, An Accident of Dragons is equal parts a cozy tale about love and acceptance, and a page-turning adventure on the high seas, full of twists and turns. Prepare to fall in love with the wittiest, messiest rake of a main character!"
The Keeper of Magical Things (2025)
Julie Leong
"The Keeper of Magical Things is a story about finding yourself and finding love in the most unexpected of places (a sleepy village called Shpelling). It has everything you can possibly want from a cosy fantasy: a fish-out-of-water main character, an icy love interest with a secret heart of gold, a tonne of outlandish magical objects, heaps of humour, and, obviously, a catdragon. A hilarious, cosy page-turner."
