J.N. Kindig has been writing since childhood, when she made construction paper books about the care and keeping of dragons and bound them with yarn. Her writing craft has matured since then, thankfully, but her love for fantastical stories has remained. She writes fantasy and speculative fiction that draws on elements of Gothic literature and horror, but that always has enough light to counteract the dark. Her work explores themes of belonging, power, and how devotion shapes who we are. She is currently pursuing her master’s degree in English. She lives in South Carolina with her husband and their dog, Luna.
