Biography:
Award-winning author, editor, and publisher Danielle Ackley-McPhail has worked both sides of the publishing industry for longer than she cares to admit. In 2014 she joined forces with Mike McPhail and Greg Schauer to form eSpec Books (www.especbooks.com).

Her published works include eight novels, Yesterday's Dreams, Tomorrow's Memories, Today's Promise, The Halfling's Court, The Redcaps' Queen, Daire's Devils, The Play of Light, and Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn, written with Day Al-Mohamed. She is also the author of the solo collections Eternal Wanderings, A Legacy of Stars, Consigned to the Sea, Flash in the Can, Transcendence, Between Darkness and Light, and the non-fiction writers' guides The Literary Handyman, More Tips from the Handyman, and LH: Build-A-Book Workshop. She is the senior editor of the Bad-Ass Faeries anthology series, Gaslight & Grimm, Side of Good/Side of Evil, After Punk, and Footprints in the Stars. Her short stories are included in numerous other anthologies and collections. She is a full member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association.

In addition to her literary acclaim, she crafts and sells original costume horns under the moniker The Hornie Lady Custom Costume Horns, and homemade flavor-infused candied ginger under the brand of Ginger KICK! at literary conventions, on commission, and wholesale.

Danielle lives in New Jersey with husband and fellow writer, Mike McPhail and four extremely spoiled cats.

So. Much. Candy! But I made good progress and have just a little more to make. The chocolate pistachio are particularly good this time, but the Truffles are my favorite.


Yesterday
Heads up to anyone looking to get ginger or candy from me at Philcon, due to the hotel contract I can't sell food items in the dealer's room... but I *can* deliver orders already placed, so if you want treats DM me to work out the particulars! And I will be taking orders at the convention too ☺️


Yesterday
Oh, my... can't believe @philconconvention.bsky.social is in just two days!! Who am I going to see there this weekend? Come say hey at the @especbooks.bsky.social table in the dealer's room. That is where you can find me when I am not on panels!
