Guild Command General K. J. from the House of Harrowick, Drinker of Beer, Creator of Worlds, Mother of Dragons, Queen Instigator of Gators, and Wielder of Villains. Taco Fiend be thy name…
K. J. Harrowick is a fantasy and science fiction author with a strong passion for twisted stories which blend grimdark worlds and futurist technology with threads of romance and revenge. In her early years, she loved to cozy up on her library’s giant orange couches, which is where she first fell in love with SFF books.
In 2004, she began to build her own exotic worlds and create fantasy languages, toying around with ideas for characters, cultures, and magic systems. A few years later she was writing stories and stuffing them in the darkest corner under her bed where they’d never see the light of day. But her heart couldn’t stay away, and in 2014 it became a full-blown passion to write and publish her own books.
K.J. is the co-creator of Writer In Motion, Rewrite It Club, the creator of Winterviews and the 2020 Director for CampRevPit, sharing her love of community with those around her. She’s also won first prize in the #WonderPitch contest (2017), contributed to Dan Koboldt’s Science in Sci-Fi series with the article “Erroneous Code in Fiction” (November 2018), and was a panelist in the Write Hive online convention (April 2020).
With an unhealthy obsession with dragons, tacos, cheese, and beer, K. J. also works as a freelance web developer and graphic designer on a broad range of client projects before falling down the occasional rabbit hole. K. J. has an Associates Degree in Independent Studies.
Her debut novel Bloodflower, the first book in The Hidden Flames Artifact series, is slotted for fall 2021 where she hopes to capture readers hearts by casting a grimdark lens on what might happen when a woman who craves peace is thrust into a world of revenge and sacrifice.
