My name is Kit Mayquist, and as an author I write the only things I know how. As a result my work often draws on gothic traditions, history, obsession, and the shadows grief and trauma leave behind.
Based in France, whenever I’m not writing I can be found exploring historical sites, rummaging brocantes, repairing books and conserving antiques.
Thank you for stopping by.
“…where Donna Tartt meets Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers. Kit Mayquist weaves a world as alluring and dangerous as an arcane poison.”
Lyndall Clipstone, Lakesedge
Tasked to assist the Verdeau family doctor and their ill but poetic adult heir, a woman chronicles her nights spent working overtime to hide the Verdeaus’ self-destructive tendencies both at home in Boston, and at their Gilded Age mansion, Arrow’s Edge — That is until she discovers the Verdeau are the one’s responsible for her family’s financial struggles, and vows to get botanical revenge.
