Rose Guildenstern writes metaphysical visionary fiction for readers who prefer disturbing honesty to comfortable lies. At university, she specialized in Wonder (the subject of all her later research). A former high school teacher and now a practicing armchair philosopher, she left the bone-dry certainties of California to explore the haunted forests and rocky coastlines of New England. There she reads lots of Shakespeare, Lovecraft, and fairy tales while sorting through sea shells, of course. • Her award-winning debut, Iago’s Penumbra: A Metaphysical Novel, woos the reader into facing life’s and death’s trickier mysteries through the lens of a paranormal romance between a ghost and a clairvoyant. • Her second work of fiction, Faerie Truths: Tales to Disturb Us Awake, offers 30 modern fairy-tale retellings and a reminder: these stories were never meant to comfort us. They were meant to wake us. • Look for Rose's newest book, See-Shells (or, The Shawshank Redemption): A Novel of Enlightenment. Releasing June 11, 2026, See-Shells is here to show you what your systems are doing to you. You can approach this book as speculative fiction, as spiritual literature, or as an experiment set up for you by your future self. Above all, this is a metaphysical novel of enlightenment that begins with a spiritual puzzle and ends by changing the story you tell about yourself. Sometimes, Rose publishes tarot and sundry spiritual tools as Juno Lucina. Why publish under pen names? Because the meaning and the work itself are what matter. The path is full of risk, but it’s true. Step in. If you want safety, pick another book. If you’re willing to step inside, I’ll meet you there at roseandjuno dot com.
