A. S. Tamaki

About the Author

A. S. Tamaki is a reclusive author whose evocative storytelling draws from the rich tapestry of East Asian folklore and the quiet introspection of seasonal change. Born in a small coastal town in Japan, Tamaki spent much of their youth wandering ancient forests and studying forgotten myths, experiences that infuse their narratives with a profound sense of melancholy and wonder. With a background in anthropology and a passion for blending historical realism with speculative elements, Tamaki crafts worlds where the boundaries between the mortal and the ethereal blur. Their debut novel, The Book of Fallen Leaves (The Autumn Empire, 1), marks the beginning of an ambitious series exploring themes of loss, renewal, and the enduring spirit of nature. Tamaki resides in Kyoto, where they continue to write amidst the rustle of autumn winds.
