Celena Cavala

Nashville-based novelist and perfumer, fascinated by the thresholds between worlds, where history bleeds into myth and trauma transforms into power.

She alchemizes forgotten historical events, the supernatural and philosophy into her signature cosmic gothic style, exploring how sovereignty and courage emerge from a world designed to crush the human spirit.

She is the author of Legacy Drift and Meridian Bloom, books one and two of The Stardust Veil Trilogy, with Book Three, Sovran Light, arriving in May 2027.

She is also the creator of Parlor Stories, an atmospheric storytelling series exploring obscure folklore, forgotten history and the wonderfully unsettling peculiarities of human behavior.

When not writing about souls refusing to stay buried, she formulates perfumes inspired by her fictional worlds and takes long dog walks in forgotten places.
