L. B. Shimaira is from the Netherlands, born in 1989, married and a mother. She has a Bachelor of Applied Science degree and works as a research technician developing vaccines.

As a lover of horror, she mainly writes dark fiction befitting various genres. Most of her works are inspired by her dreams and nightmares, giving them a vivid sense of realism. Polyamory tends to sneak into her works, even if just a notion, and LGBTQ+ characters are always present in her novels.

She’s autistic, struggled with depression as a teen, and received therapy for PTSD in 2019.

When it comes to LGBTQ+ labels, it’s often easier to simply say she’s queer. But, for anyone interested: she’s polyamorous, pan grey-asexual, and idemromantic. She uses both she/her and they/them pronouns. The term quoigender fits her gender identity best, though she’s fine calling herself female.
