Aspasía S. Bissas wrote her first short story at the age of six (a dark tale about a deadly flower) and illustrated it with a pink highlighter. She no longer does illustrations but she’s been writing stories ever since. Inspired by pop culture, mythology, history, and magic– as well as a lifelong obsession with vampires– Aspasía is the author of the dark fantasy novels Love Lies Bleeding and Bleeding Heart, and the short stories Tooth & Claw and Blood Magic, set in the same world. She is currently working on her next project.
Aspasía supports numerous causes, particularly those that involve helping animals. Some of her favourite organizations include the OSPCA, Toronto Wildlife Centre, SafePet Ottawa, Black Cat Rescue, The Fur-Bearers, and FLAP Canada. When she’s not writing, she can be found taking music quizzes on YouTube, watching old TV shows on repeat, and serving her pet cats feline overlords.
