F.T. McKinstry hails from the northwoods of New England, and is an avid reader, artist, and musichead. A passion for speculative fiction, mythology and fairytales lured her into writing high fantasy. Well, her path through that spooky forest was long indeed and fraught with monsters, tragedies, and detours. She got into computers and kept lots of cats. And the rest is stories.

“Gardens are made of darkness and light entwined.”
F.T. McKinstry, Crowharrow

“The older a wizard grows, the more silent he becomes, like a woody vine growing over time to choke a garden path, deep and full of moss and snakes, running everywhere, impenetrable.”
F.T. McKinstry, Crowharrow

“In the calm, deep waters of the mind, the wolf waits.”
F.T. McKinstry, Water Dark

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”
Anatole France

Albert Einstein

“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.”
Lloyd Alexander

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”
Philip K. Dick, I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon
