Notes from the Edge is the Substack of aspiring author Katharine Kapodistria. I write fantasy fiction inspired by mythology and magic, folklore and Faerie.
Crossworlds Fantasy Friday
Short story fiction (generally 1,000 - 2,000 words, with some micro/flash and poetry) published on sporadic Fridays. Our cast of characters includes a faerie entrepreneur, an urban witch, a shapeshifting socialite, two siblings who share one body, and a man who strikes a bargain for true love. Check out the Short Stories tab above for a list of all tales published so far.
Serialisation
Read my YA Fantasy Fiction novel Underworld - a reimagining (not a retelling) of the myth of Persefóni - here on Substack.

A promise
I will absolutely never, never EVER use AI in my art, because that defeats the purpose of making art at all.
