Putterer.
Escapist.
Despite growing up in sunny South Africa within walking distance of the wide, sandy beach, K.I.S. was forever carrying a book around and hiding out of sight somewhere, getting lost in the drama on the page.

Her first, full-length story was about two ducks that go on a farmyard adventure, bashed out on her mother's dated typewriter at the ripe old age of seven. An English teacher by trade, K.I.S. always envisioned herself as a writer but never got around to ac -

Her stories do not live in the light. They wander through gothic halls and fractured hearts, across fantasies soaked in shadow and romances edged with ruin. Whatever the genre, her compass always points toward the dark, where survival claws into beauty and betrayal blooms into truth. -
