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 buried in revisions, she’s chasing stars, climbing mountains, curating book playlists, or plotting her next escape to somewhere far, far away. She resides in Vancouver B.C. with her partner and too many houseplants.
