Dayle A. Dermatis

An interviewer once said of DAYLE A. DERMATIS that “she has so many aliases, you’d think she was a spy!” A dabbler in several genres (and with several coauthors), she’s sold two novels and more than 100 short stories. She lives in southern California within scent of the ocean, and she and her husband spend their spare time following Styx around the country (and sometimes out of it), exploring the world via motorcycle, renovating their 1911 Craftsman home, and doing historic re-creation. She loves music, cats, Wales, TV, magic, laughter, and defying expectations. You can read more about Dayle and her pseudonyms at her website.

DAYLE A. DERMATIS’s short fantasy has been called “funny (and rather ingenious),” “something new and something fresh,” and “really, really good!” Under various pseudonyms (and sometimes with coauthors), she’s sold several novels and more than 100 short stories in several genres. She lives and works in California within scent of the ocean, and in her spare time follows Styx around the country and travels the world, all of which inspires her writing.

Under various pseudonyms, she’s sold several novels and more than 100 short stories, including collaborations with Teresa Noelle Roberts (as Sophie Mouette) and Sarah J. Husch (as Sarah Dale).

Dayle grew up in the Adirondacks of upstate NY, but somehow ended up on the opposite end of the country, living in central, northern, and southern California before embarking on a 4-year sojourn in Wales, UK (where she eloped properly in Gretna Green, Scotland). Currently she’s back in southern California, although she continues to travel frequently within the U.S. and abroad (37 countries to date), often via motorcycle. She lives within scent of the ocean with her beloved, Ken, and two cats from Wales, one with three legs and one with extra toes. When not writing, she can be found doing historic re-creation with the Society of Creative Anachronism (with interests in costuming, weaving, and herbal concoctions), following her favorite band, Styx (the number of shows she’s seen roughly coincides with the number of short stories she’s sold—spooky!), or renovating their 1911 Craftsman-style bungalow.
