Alex DiFrancesco is a mystic writer and transmasc person (they/them) who is doing their best to get through, relying on the written word, their tarot decks, some saint medals, their leather motorcycle jacket, and a little Italian folk magic to do so. They are the author of Transmutation, All City, and Psychopomps. DiFrancesco is the human companion of a middle-aged, ill-mannered Westie named Roxy Music, Dog of Doom. Their day-jobs have included baking and pastry cooking, tutoring, community teaching, and public relations. They find their heart to be their most useful weapon, and they hope to one day keep their kitchen immaculate.
