edit data

My name, “Cathy Smith”, sounds like white bread, but I’m Mohawk and I write so I use “Khiatons” which means “I’m a writer.” in Mohawk. I love myths and see modern fantasy and scifi as modern myths. I read trending articles on science, technology and health so my stories end up being more grounded than expected with mundane details bleeding into the fantastic. I believe this approach is the traditional outlook of my people so I’m carrying on their storytelling tradition in my own way.
