Praise for The Gatherer: "5 out of 5. The Gatherer is a romantic epic set in magical lands that stars a gifted, irresistible girl. Though its framework is familiar, the novel is distinguished by its fresh characterizations... moved along by flowing prose... And exquisite details are used to vivify each setting..." —Foreword Clarion Reviews "Impressively deep character development (both human and animal), solid world-building, intricate plotting and subtle philosophical morsels throughout... make for an enthralling, multi tapestried read. ...a contemplative story about courage, healing, and the life-changing power of love." —BlueInk Review "Peregrine is... an endearing protagonist, and not necessarily a character whom readers might expect to lead a fantasy novel." —Kirkus Reviews "A remarkable, beautiful coming-of-age fantasy that kept me hanging on every word... Kit Trzebunia has the gift of writing characters that are so real, so relatable, you feel like you're right there in the pages with them." —Lisa Henson, Reedsy Discovery Review Kit is a linguist at heart. She earned a BA in Slavic linguistics and a 2nd Degree Black Belt in taekwondo, teaches group fitness classes at the YMCA and crochets elephants. She lives with her husband and three children (two of whom are in college) in Durham, North Carolina, where she runs a home “restaurant” (gluten- and dairy-free) fondly called Mo’s Kitchen. Wondering how to pronounce that last name? The TRZ makes a “ch” sound (as in “chapter”): che-BOON-yah!
