edit data

Kristy Gardner is a bisexual sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writer. She is the author of the Broken Stars queer dark sci-fi series and the award-winning cookbook, Cooking with Cocktails.

Furnished with degrees in Gender Studies and Sociology, she crafts complex characters who adventure through space, time, and emotional maelstroms questioning what identity – and home – really mean.

When she’s not jet-setting words on her laptop, she’s chasing stars, mountain adventures, belly laughs, coffee, big dog cuddles, and planning her next trip to SE Asia. She resides in Vancouver, BC, with her partner.
