Meet the Oddment

Aspiring cryptid and general oddment, Odessa Blaine haunts the north Georgia mountains. She’s farm raised and steeped in Southern traditions, folklore, and history. When she’s not haunting the woods or performing stories, Odessa spends her time volunteering for nonprofit organizations and encouraging others to embrace their superpowers.

Growing up with warnings of Wampus Cats, hearing family stories, and learning how to use the plants and animals of the area cultivated curiosity and a love of hidden things.

Adult life has been a meandering journey of finding the things in this Universe that are worth being enchanted by. Now in her 40s, she’s proud to have helped produce an award winning short film, And the Moon Sees Me, and is eager for the released of her debut novel, Where the Roots Tangle, through Mercer University Press on September 1, 2026.

Odessa has been crafting performance stories for nearly 20 years, has 15 years of marketing and corporate training experience, and holds a degree in Sociology with a concentration in Organizational and Social Change. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Broadleaf Writer Association and as President of Sassafras Literary.
