About

Photo of B. B. Arbogast

Since her youth, B. B. Arbogast has had an interest in myth, the occult, and the macabre, and releases that part of her imagination in poetry, short stories, and flash fiction. She wrote her first two (unpublished) picture books in German while learning the language when she worked briefly as an Au Pair in Germany. She wrote an unconventional memoir and is in the process of writing novels for a variety of audiences, ranging from early middle grade to adult, in multiple genres, including magical realism and horror. Currently, she works at a local bookstore. She has an active membership in multiple writing groups. In her free time, B. enjoys hiking, skiing, and walking her dogs with her husband in Reno, Nevada.
