H.E. EDGMON was born in the Deep South but has had many homes, dropped out of school to do gay stuff, and is at least a little feral. In both their writing and daily life, they aim to center the voices of Indigenous people, trans people, and survivors of trauma. It is always their goal to make fascists uncomfortable. They have an eccentric little family of their own design, several very sensitive pets, and a lot of opinions. They can most often be found on Twitter, @heedgmon.
Praise for The Witch King
☆ "Edgmon's ebullient debut depicts a variety of trans perspectives
with tender sensitivity, and quintessential walking disaster
Wyatt's self-deprecating humor, punk glee, and surprisingly level
head are vividly lovable... Readers will adore this
revolution-tinged celebration of trans joy, which refreshingly
builds its conflict without jumping for trauma tropes." -Publishers
Weekly, Starred Review
"This romantically charged, anti-fascist fantasy presents a diverse
cast of queer characters... The page-turning resolution promises an
irresistible duology closer to come." -Kirkus Reviews
"A complex fantasy debut, rich in nuanced LGBTQIA+ representation
and timely social commentary, perfect for fans of Adam Silvera,
Holly Black, and Rin Chupeco." -School Library Journal
"Edgmon's debut is a spellbinding duology starter, ultimately
driven by its core cast of complicated and lovable characters, who
will keep readers laughing with deftly written, witty dialogue that
never veers into clich�, and a richly layered world that feels
incredibly real, with high-stakes fascism, corruption, and
oppression. Readers will be left eager for the sequel to this fiery
stunner of a fantasy." -Booklist
