Speculative Fiction Author
Hello, and welcome! My name is Moshke Palmoni, and I like to tell stories about disability and found family and magic. This ranges from high fantasy to urban fantasy to futuristic sci fi, but you can always count on there being some form of family and people who are disabled within their world's context. Most of these stories are still in progress, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to see here! I have one published middle grade novel (full of...metaphorical magic). And I'm a writer—I always have things to say. Welcome to the journey!
Please feel free to come talk to me! I'll have a contact form up soon, but you can also find me on tumblr, bluesky, or instagram. I'm trying to be more active on social media, but life and mental health do sometimes get in the way.
Here, have some elevator pitches to pique your interest:
- 7 Days for Fae: 10-year-old Fae is having a busy week: she got suspended from school for an autistic meltdown, met a new kid who actually wants to talk to her, and an aunt she barely knows moved into her house, all in a row! It feels like more than she can handle, but Fae finds that she can surprise herself and sometimes being alone isn't the only option. Available now as an ebook ($3) or paperback ($18), complete with full-color illustrations.

- Cracks in the Stone: In a kingdom full of magic, one royal bastard finds themself pulled away from a comfortable life with a good future in reporting, and dumped into the court kitchens, all because of a prophecy that implies they might one day save or doom the entire kingdom.
- The Magical Diagnostic and Statistical Manual: The story of four college students in a magical medicine course told through school assignments, textbook excerpts, and other found documents.
