M Verant writes fantasy, sci-fi, and thrillers, all with the same Spotify playlist. He writes about social and political issues while being an incurable romantic, so… NobleBright, kind of? His latest work is Miss Bennet’s Dragon, a fantasy retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice that recasts Austen’s social critique as themes of entitlement and empowerment. His thriller, Power in the Age of Lies, became an Amazon Best Seller. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, surrounded by Teslas and wild turkeys.
