Véronique Reed
Véronique Reed is a writer steeped in ancient Greek mythology who weaves gods into the fabric of contemporary Montreal. Through stories where crime meets the divine and love defies mortal boundaries, Véronique's work asks what we inherit from the past and what price we pay to escape it. Her debut novel L'Égide follows two unlikely heroes hunting a demigod through murders that echo rituals older than memory.
Véronique Reed couldn't decide between literature and history, so she got a master's in ancient Greek studies and started writing instead. In her younger days, she lived for crime novels before falling hard for science fiction, fantasy, horror, and everything strange in between, always making sure to slip a murder or two into her work. Her short fiction has appeared in Brins d'éternité. Her debut novel, L'Égide, brings Greek gods to Montreal in a queer urban fantasy where secret organizations hunt demigods and love defies every boundary the ancient world tried to draw.
