About Dax Murray
Dax is an award-winning and bestselling sapphic author and word-witch who weaves queer, revolutionary fantasy tales that explore trauma, healing, and progress.
Dax studied political science, music, and creative writing at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania and is a proud member of the Kraken Collective. When not immersed in the realms of storytelling, you may find Dax at the Crystarium in Norvrandt or exploring the DC metro area, both of which they call home.
Dax has a too-smart-for-his-own-good service dog and a so-cute-it-hurts orange tabby who has never once had a turn with the shared orange tabby braincell.
Dax is most active currently on BlueSky. If you want extras, bonus content, and special announcements, please join their newsletter. You can also find Dax elsewhere on the web.
Dax is also a member of the Kraken Collective, an alliance of LGBTQIA+ independent authors writing speculative fiction. If you want to find other Kraken Collective Books on Itchio, here is a convenient collection!
