100 word author bio
Kristy Gardner is a bi sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writer. She is the author of The Broken Stars sci-fi series, and the award-winning cookbook, COOKING WITH COCKTAILS.
Furnished with degrees in Gender Studies and Sociology, she crafts queer characters that 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, curating playlists for her books, and packing her carry-on for another escape to SE Asia. She resides in Vancouver B.C. with her partner.
