K.V. Wilson is a queer autistic fantasy author who writes about mythical creatures, magic, found family, and a dash of no-spice romance. Born in Alberta, she lives in British Columbia, Canada, with her husband and dog.

A hobbit disguised as a human, she hopes to one day be swept away to a hidden world where dragons and other fantastical creatures dwell. Until that moment, she can be found sitting by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book.

You can check out her dark high fantasy and dark urban fantasy books at www.kvwilsonauthor.ca. ...more
