Hi there!
I’m Audrey Auden. I write stories, including The Artifex and the Muse epic fantasy series. I’m so glad you’re here.
Fantasy fiction was one of my earliest passions as a child, and as an adult I'm a lover of all forms of speculative fiction. I became an engineer because that seemed the next best thing to magic, and I've spent my 20+ year career in startups, building high-impact products and companies.
But as fun as it is to build things in the "real" world, there's nothing quite as fun as building my own story worlds
.I hope you’ll consider subscribing to my author newsletter for updates on my writing journey. Here are three reasons 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 story universe. In addition to updates on book releases and special promotions, the newsletter includes posts about the fun experiments I do with book-related art, music, and other media.
2. You can nerd out with me
I write about all the wacky things that fascinate me, from ancient mystery religions and the wonders of fungi to technology companies and cultural evolution. If you enjoy my books, you and I are probably fascinated by lots of the same topics. Subscribe so we can nerd out about our shared interests!
3. You’ll support Substack
