M. Turandot writes novels that arrive with music attached.
Wilhelmina (2025) is a fantasy about a wedding fairy forbidden to love. Muirgen's Carousel: The Hope of Return (2026) is a libretto scored for the stage, published alongside a twenty-six-track recording. At the Angle of Blue (2026) follows a chemist whose impossible dye reaches her grandmother's village before she does. Nur Kardelen arrives in November.
She trained for twelve years in a classical piano lineage descending from Leschetizky and Schnabel, sang mezzo-soprano, and holds a B.S. in Computer Science and an M.B.A. from the University of Michigan, with a background in biochemistry research. She has judged the Austin Film Festival for eight years.
Her work moves across prose, libretto, music, and visual art in pursuit of one question: how a story actually lands in the human nervous system.
She publishes through Miragwyn Books and lives in Manakin Sabot, Virginia.
