About the House of Ash and Ink

The House of Ash and Ink is a sanctuary for stories—those half-remembered, half-imagined, and too powerful to stay buried. Founded by author Mira Marshall, it is both a creative space and a myth-making project. It is a place where memory and myth blur, where flame becomes narrative, and where the forgotten finds a voice.

This is not a house of answers. It is a house of echoes, rituals, broken things, and quiet power.

Its goals:

• To explore the spaces between genres, where science fiction touches poetry, and fantasy shares breath with memory.

• To create fan fiction that honors legacy while reimagining myth from the margins.

• To build original worlds shaped by grief, magic, fire, and resistance.

• To offer readers stories that feel like relics—unearthed more than written.

In this house, the ink is never dry. The flame is never still.

Brittany is a writer and researcher based in Atlanta, Georgia. By day, she works in a scientific field that blends curiosity, complexity, and the occasional tangle of bureaucracy. By night, she writes fiction that reaches across galaxies, timelines, and tangled human (and non-human) emotions.

Brittany grew up with her head in books and her heart in distant worlds. She’s drawn to stories where the strange feels familiar, the familiar feels strange, and something ancient is always watching. Her favorite genres are science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction, and her influences range from the dark whimsy of Jack Vance to the structured brilliance of Isaac Asimov and the social intricacy of Charles Dickens.

She’s also a lifelong Star Wars fan and is particularly fond of the galaxy’s true unsung heroes: the droids. From R2-D2 and C-3PO to Chopper and the ever-loyal battle droids ("Roger Roger"), Mira believes the machines have more heart than half the Jedi Council.

Shadow Weavers is her first published work under this name—a story that explores memory, myth, and the power of choosing to remember what others try to erase.

When not writing, Mira is usually reading, streaming something, or imagining what her cat would say if it could talk (something smug, definitely).
