a story is waiting
Where wonder blooms in the cracks of the real.
Dani Zink
"The best stories are the ones the author didn't plan."
Dani Zink writes from the liminal spaces between—between sleeping and waking, between the familiar and the fantastic.
Her stories breathe with a particular kind of magic: the kind that has always been there, waiting beneath the surface of the ordinary. She finds the impossible tucked inside the everyday, and coaxes it gently into the light.
She makes her home wherever books outnumber shelves, with too many tea cups and a suspiciously intuitive cat.
"A story is growing in the dark.
It will be ready when it's ready."
— D.Z.
Stories are being written. Worlds are being tended.

something will be waiting here.

✦ You'll hear from the in-between.
Some things here only bloom for the curious.

Letters are welcome. Stories, questions, wonderings—
send them into the in-between.
Your letter has gone.
She'll find it.
