Maria Lewis

I loved science fiction and fantasy.

Nightclubs set in Berlin that are, you know, run by a werewolf.

My name is Maria Lewis.

I'm a screenwriter, author, and journalist.

I'm probably best known for my Supernatural Sisters series, which have been published internationally and includes Who's Afraid, Who's Afraid 2.

It came from the deep, The Witch Who Courted Death, and The Wailing Woman.

Urban fantasy that has a bit of grit to it, oftentimes I feel like can be very stereotyped as masculine.

You know, the work of men gets called gritty or gets called edgy, whereas women oftentimes our stuff sort of gets taken less seriously or it gets undermined by some of the descriptors.

But

A lot of my work has gritty elements to it.

It has supernatural creatures, predominantly women, so banshees, werewolves, witches, ghosts, you name it, mermen, all different types of monsters and creatures that are representations for different types of women that I want to tell stories about in the world.

So that includes women who are, say, like late teens, early 20s, 30s, 40s,

Women who are gay, women who are biracial, women who are disabled, all different types of women and all different facets of the female experience.

That's kind of my bag.
