Bachman—is an American multidisciplinarian writer working across fiction, non-fiction, lyric prose, and visual art. Her work engages gothic tradition, psychological interiority, and lived experience, favoring emotional precision over genre boundaries.

She is the author of The Blasphemer Series, Melankholia, Human Ouija, and Little Lunacies, and has been publishing independently since 2014. Her writing is recognized for its dark lyrical tone and its sustained engagement with themes of memory, fracture, spirituality, and survival. Her horror short story Human Ouija received critical recognition and reflects her signature approach—psychologically intimate, emotionally raw, and attentive to the tension between the sacred and the profane.

In 2025, Lesher formally expanded into non-fiction with the launch of a trilogy titled The Tapestry of Me. The first volume, Saint Woman, released in October 2025, is a cerebral kink education work blending theory, guided roleplaying scenes, and sapphic poetry. The book serves as her public coming-out work, marking her embrace of her identity as a lesbian and signaling a clear shift toward autobiographical and instructional non-fiction grounded in lived experience.

The trilogy continues with The Witch Hare, which focuses on deconstruction from Christianity, historical education on witchcraft, and Lesher’s process of healing through faith. The final installment, My Demons Have Demons, is her primary memoir, examining her upbringing in a dysfunctional family, her experience of closeted lesbianism within a devout religious environment, and her life navigating complex trauma (CPTSD). The memoir explores how faith, self-education, and sustained inner work became tools for survival and self-reclamation amid circumstances she did not choose.

As part of her activism, Lesher began publishing essays on her Substack addressing power, gender, bodily autonomy, faith, and cultural harm. These writings are being compiled into a forthcoming book titled Because I Bore Witness, scheduled for release in 2026.

In addition to her writing, Lesher is a visual artist and graphic designer. She is a Gemmell-Ravenheart Award nominee for cover design, recognized for graphic work within dark and speculative literature. Her visual practice mirrors her writing in tone and restraint, emphasizing atmosphere, symbolism, and emotional clarity.

Lesher views writing as both craft and discipline—a means of translating lived experience into language without abstraction or disguise. She continues to write, create visual work, and develop interdisciplinary projects while spending time with her family.

Essay V — Believing Is Seeing

We are told not to trust our eyes anymore. When a woman is killed, we are instructed to wait. To withhold judgment. To allow the narrative to form. Evidence exists, but meaning is delayed—until authority decides what we are permitted to believe. Religion trained us for this. Seeing is not believing.Believing is seeing. Finishing reading...
