Capulet Poehner

Capulet Poehner writes Pacific Northwest–flavored science fiction for people who love imaginative stories with heart. He grew up reading classic sci-fi and fantasy, always wanting to write but never quite finding his voice. He finally did—by reading a lot, writing every day, and learning to just be himself on the page.

In 2026, Capulet is publishing The Skren Succession, a series of connected science fiction stories exploring how care becomes control. New stories appear regularly at capuletpoehner . com.

He lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington—the same Bainbridge Island where Bad Shadou is set. The ferry Elle rides? He rides it too.
