Author of YA magical realism grounded in real life

Hello, friend!

Welcome to my little virtual coffeeshop, where every table has a bouquet of sunflowers and a mug of hot chocolate. (One day, I hope to actually sit across from you in my very own, very real shop.)

 

That’s me, sitting above in my favorite local coffeeshop. I’m Abi, or Abi Lyn Voss, if we’re going to be official. 😉

 

I write authentic YA novels for young adults like myself, seeking safe stories to hold them as they navigate growing up. Having just graduated highschool (Class of 2024!), I was the teenage girl who stood on the outside of a crowd. I craved stories to show me I wasn’t alone in my fears of growing up and finding my place in the world. I needed a safe place in books to allow me to process those emotions. There’s no mold to how growing up should look like, and a good story that shows that can make all the difference.

 

Here’s what you can expect from my stories:

 

  • Stories that don’t give a picture perfect, “one size fits all” teenage experience, but show that you’re not alone in the struggles of growing up.
  • Stories in the vein of Letters to the Lost and The Summer We Forgot but with fingerprints of magic.

Quinn Oliver is the first character of mine you can meet. She takes the lead in my short story, The Little Tire Shop, fighting to save her family’s magical mechanic shop that’s beginning to crumble after the death of her Pops. But if she can’t even fix a car, how is she supposed to repair her Pops’s legacy? (And if that doesn’t grab you, the story also includes a car-racing older brother, because sibling relationships are my favorite.) You can learn more about this story in the “My Stories” section. 

 

Now, I’m pursuing traditional publication for my full-length novels.  If you want to stay in the loop with updates on my author journey, I’d love for you to join my email list below. 😉 I love connecting with fellow book lovers! Feel free to stay here as long as you’d like and make yourself comfy. 💛
