Piper Dow

Piper Dow writes stories where magic stirs quietly at the edges of everyday life—whether it's in a world of shapeshifters and secret agents or in a small town filled with peculiar creatures and whispered secrets.

She is the author of the Fighting in Shadows series, a young adult contemporary fantasy that follows teens caught between supernatural conspiracies and their own search for truth, healing, and hope. Rooted in themes of family, courage, and quiet faith, the series explores what it means to stand in the dark and still choose to do what’s right.

Piper is also the creator of the cozy fantasy Buttonwood Bay Mystery series, starting with Pocketful of Pyskies, which brings together amateur sleuths, magical mischief, and a small-town charm where even the air seems to sparkle with secrets. These stories offer a gentler kind of adventure—where determination, community, and a sprinkle of chaos magic carry the day.

Piper believes in clean reads, strong character arcs, and stories that leave space for light to shine through. She acknowledges God as the source of the ideas and creativity behind her work.

When she’s not writing, Piper enjoys exploring quiet forests and beaches in her ordinary world that still seems to hum with mystery—and sometimes, a hint of magic.
