Headshot of Ashe and Magdalena Stevens - TheAuthorCouple

he is her storyteller and she is his poet

Hi! We’re Ashe and Magdalena, award-winning authors, writing immersive, character-driven stories for readers who highlight half the book.
If you rewind a song that made you cry.
If you binge indie movies with a mandatory bucket of ice cream.
If you go to art museums alone as a form of existential therapy.
If you travel to gain perspective.
If you get the biggest book hangovers.

If you’ve ever felt like a penguin heading toward the mountains—away from the colony—you’ll probably find yourself in our books.

(Tissues are recommended. We’ve earned the reputation.)
