Kristina M Barbee (she/they) is an author and avid reader of stories rich in fantasy and intricate world-building. Her works focus on dynamic and diverse characters with complex backgrounds who are driven by compelling and contradictory motives that move their plots forward. 

Kristina has been writing stories, poems, and novels ever since they were first able to form sentences and spell most words correctly. Throughout her life, her nose was always stuck in a book and her mind was always wandering and creating fictitious tales that helped her escape. Kristina lives in Illinois with a meticulously organized library room of books and her furry kids - Benjamin and Hermione.

Additionally, Kristina believes in a Free Palestine, Sudan, and all occupied lands. They support organizations such as Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, and movements centered on supporting and saving LGBTQIA+ children and youths in harmful households.

She is pansexual, AuDHD, a multi-suicide attempt survivor, has C-PTSD and GAD and has overcome traumas unspoken and unsafe. They work every day to write works and take actions that influence the world in a positive and radical way while decolonizing their own mind and biases.
