About Mallory Voss

Mallory Voss

Hello, I'm Mallory

I'm a debut novelist with a background in anthropology, science, and technology—which means I spent years researching ancient cultures before turning that obsession into fiction.

The Weight of Ash is a romantic fantasy about an archaeologist, a forgotten god, and what we owe the dead.

When I'm not writing, I'm probably falling down research rabbit holes about ancient funerary practices, writing code, hanging out with my husband and our horses + dog + cats, or out and about on our farm in rural Ontario 🇨🇦.
