JP Rindfleisch IX (he/they) writes cozy queer fantasy and strange fiction: stories about grief, transformation, and queer joy wrapped in botanical magic, found families, and a dash of genuine weirdness. Their first solo novel, Mandrake Manor, won the 2025 IPPY Silver Medal in LGBTQ+ Fiction, the 2024 Reader Ready Award Top Pick, and was a 2023 American Writing Awards Finalist. The Henbane Hollow series has since been joined by Mosswood Apothecary (Tales of Valdaes), a complete six-book dark paranormal academy series (Leah Ackerman, co-written with A.B. Cohen), and the paranormal comedy NRDS: National Recently Deceased Services (co-written with Jeff Elkins). JP is represented by Elaine Spencer of The Knight Agency, who placed audiobook deals with Tantor Media and Simon Maverick.

Away from fiction, JP is a Dialogue Doctor and Three Story Method editor, the author of the writing craft guide Story Hypothesis: The Missing Piece of Your Fiction Puzzle, and co-host of Write Wrong Repeat. JP founded Rockford Area Writers, a community of 80+ local authors and creatives in Rockford, Illinois, and lives there with a husky and an African grey parrot.
