About Me

Hi, I'm KJ!  From the mists of the Olympic Peninsula to summer's torrential downpours in New York City, I've lived, and read, from coast to coast.

Current home: NYC.  Next location: Pending.

You can find my GoodReads here.
Twitter is here.

I'm very geeky and story-inclined, so when I'm not reading books, you can find me muttering about D&D, haunting arcades, and drinking craft beer.  Also antagonizing my labrador-sized tuxedo cat.  Proud Slytherin.  Neuro-diverse and ehhhhhh please stop asking me to speak for anyone but myself.  Or like, public speaking in general.  No, thank you.
