About the Author
Jackalope Smiles lives somewhere between the edge of the forest and the folds of a dream. A magical shapeshifter and reclusive storyteller. Jackalope has long believed that the world speaks in symbols—if only we learn how to listen. Their first book, The Fable of the Potion, was whispered into the world after a season of quiet walks, shared tea, and a few moonlit conversations with owls.
They write for children, elders, and anyone who has ever stood still long enough to remember something they thought they’d forgotten. Jackalope’s stories are known for their warmth, their deep-rooted wisdom, and their belief that magic is not a thing of spells but of attention.
Jackalope Smiles is also the author of the forthcoming Emissary Trilogy, a mythic science-fable exploring memory, meaning, and interdimensional mischief. The first volume, Antlers in the Astral Garden, is scheduled for release in late 2025.
They can occasionally be glimpsed wandering misty hills with a flask of potion in one hand and a notebook full of questions in the other.
