Candi Lyn Siemens

MisCon 39 Panel Volunteer

Candi Lyn Siemens is a writer and high school English teacher. In addition to winning Honorable Mention twice in the Writers of the Future contest, she has self-published a handful of short stories. Currently, you can find her on World Anvil writing and publishing her first complete novel manuscript (if she succeeds at her resolution this year).

Candi Lyn Siemens survived her childhood in the shadow of a nuclear power plant (no, she doesn't glow in the dark... usually). This near-apocalyptic upbringing instilled in her a deep appreciation for the fantastical, and now she channels that energy into writing traditional fantasy. Think swords, sorcery, and maybe a grumpy gnome or two (oh gnome you didn’t!). Though her bibliography is currently more of a "zine" than a "volume," Candi is a dedicated writer, working on stories in her limited spare time. When she's not battling writer's block (or actual monsters, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference), she's a mother, teacher, and gamer. Join her on Patreon (patreon.com/clsiemens) and World Anvil (worldanvil.com/author/caelinae) for a sneak peek at her works in progress.
