Sydnie is more than just a girl: they're an openly LQBTQ2IA author that lives in their own imagination: a post-apocalyptic, zombie-inhabited world, where magical creatures and supernatural occurrences are simply the mundane.
Outside of that, Sydnie can often be found in Montreal, Quebec where they were born and raised - and also where they chose to set their second novel, Such Exquisite Calamity. When they're not struggling to write at least one paragraph a day, you can find them reading the same six books they've been reading for the last two years out of obsession, playing their three-stringed violin, or singing very off-key despite being a great singer. And reliably, you can always find Sydnie spending time with their amazing friends and crazy family over a good cup of coffee or tea.
What kind of stories do you write?
I write the books I want to read; magic, curses, mental illness, you name it, if I want to read about it, I write about it.
Can you describe your writing why?
The idea of people reading my stories is what keeps me motivated to write. I am a storyteller, and my biggest pleasure is sharing my stories with people willing to read them.
Share with us your favourite passage from the book you enjoyed writing the most
“Instinct takes over, as I flip her underneath me, holding both of her wrists above our heads, pinning them to the bed. “Glad we’re on the same page,” I say in her ear, before breaking free of my bones with a growl, reduced to an exalted, breathless, quivering spirit. I have never felt better. I have never felt so loved.”
Such Exquisite Calamity
