About the Author

Sometimes the greatest magic is not what you inherit… but what you dare to become.

M. Turandot is a genre-blending author and narrative alchemist whose stories shimmer at the edge of fairytale, satire, and soul. With a background in computer science, theatre, and narrative design, she approaches storytelling with a refined instinct for structure and tone. A former screenwriter and story editor, she has served as a judge for the Austin Film Festival for eight years and was a finalist at Filmmarket Hub.

M. Turandot's emotionally resonant narratives delve into themes of memory, identity, and transformation across time. Her forthcoming works span luminous fables (Wilhelmina, Arzu's Long Journey Home), sharp satire (The Rarest Joy), urban mysticism (Glyph), and metaphysical mysteries (Finding the Elephant).

She invites readers into worlds where wit, wonder, and wisdom collide, and where the heart always finds its thread. Through her Substack, The Joy Weave, and her whimsical podcast, Joy’s Bobbin, she shares insights into storytelling as soulcraft and behind-the-scenes threads from her magical loom of worlds.
