Fiction that lingers long after the last page.

Eugen Bacon

Author
Eugen (Yu-gin) Bacon identifies as African Australian—the one is not exclusive from the other, and she’s okay with her dualities. She is a computer scientist mentally re-engineered into creative writing. She’s a Solstice, British Fantasy, Locus and Foreword Indies Award winner, and a finalist in major awards. Eugen is an Otherwise Fellow, and was announced in the honor list for ‘doing exciting work in gender and speculative fiction’. She adores chocolate, swimming and getaways down untrodden paths.
