Hi there!

I’m Audrey Auden. I write science fiction and fantasy, including The Artifex and the Muse speculative fiction series to which this website is dedicated. I’m so glad you’re here.

Make yourself at home. I hope you’ll consider subscribing to the site for updates. Here are three reasons why you might like to subscribe:

1. You’ll be the first to know

Subscribers are the first to know any time there’s new content available in the The Artifex and the Muse speculative fiction universe. Starting in 2022, this will include a whole lot of fun experimental audio and visual content surrounding the release of The Voice in All (Book One), as well as early access to The Path of Mysteries (Book Two). Subscribers will receive early access to Book Two content. Thanks for joining me on the writing journey!

2. You can nerd out with me

I write about all the wacky things that fascinate, from ancient mystery religions and the wonders of fungi to technology companies and cultural evolution. If you’ve enjoyed The Artifex and the Muse (or the Realms Unreel universe where the series began), you and I are probably fascinated by lots of the same stuff. Subscribe so we can talk about our weird shared interests!

3. You’ll support Substack
