Author's Bio

Tinamarie Cox was born and raised in New York City. She currently lives in Arizona with her husband, two children, and her rescue felines. Her written and visual work has appeared in numerous publications under genres from literary to horror to science fiction. She likes too many different things to settle into a single category. She enjoys reading, writing, painting, listening to music, and doting on her cats. When she's not creating, she can be found having small adventures with her neurospicy family. Tinamarie has two poetry chapbooks with Bottlecap Press. Her first full-length poetry collection, Through A Sea Laced With Midnight Hues, was released through Nymeria Publishing in 2025 . She is always working on more poetry.
