Stories for the Fearless, the Tender, and the Unapologetically Real

Under the name Raven Foxglove, M. M. Crusinberry writes stories that celebrate the vivid, complex beauty of LGBTQ+ lives. Raven’s work is intimate and evocative — a blend of sensuality, heartache, rebellion, and hope. Her stories are unapologetically queer and defiantly tender, embracing every spectrum of love and identity with honesty and grace.

Raven’s voice is lush and fearless. She writes for those who have ever felt unseen, who have fought to exist on their own terms, or who have loved against the odds. Her characters are flawed and luminous — poets and outcasts, witches and wanderers, lovers who refuse to fade quietly into the background.

In Foxglove’s worlds, magic often mirrors emotion: transformation as a metaphor for coming out, rebirth as healing, monsters as metaphors for misunderstood selves. She doesn’t just tell queer stories — she mythologizes them, reminding readers that their experiences are sacred, powerful, and worthy of legend.

Raven’s prose carries a lyrical edge, often blurring the line between dark fantasy and luminous realism. Her stories explore themes of identity, found family, and the courage to love in a world that doesn’t always understand. Whether set in modern cities pulsing with unseen enchantments or ancient worlds lit by candlelight, her work promises one thing: to make readers feel seen, celebrated, and free.

A spontaneous elopement in New Orleans solidifies their bond, proving that home isn’t a place—it’s a person.
