Lark Calloway writes cozy fantasy rooted in the landscapes of the Great Lakes region. Her fiction is set in worlds where kindness is the operating system, magic responds to care and intention, and the hardest thing a person can do is let themselves be known rather than simply useful. The Lark & Lantern is her first novel. She is at work on a second book set in Wrenfall, due to be released later in 2026.
