Originally from Kentucky, Kiana moved to Canada in 2019 to pursue her dreams of becoming an author and publisher. After growing up in the foothills of Appalachia, she has a special interest in writing surreal horror set in deep, lonely woodland areas, where the land is old and the gods that roam - even older. She also enjoys writing happier things like romance, and her current work-in-progress is a novel that combines both the horror of the wilderness and the love that can be found in the midst of it.Kiana is chronically ill and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. She lives in the Greater Toronto Area with her partner and their spoiled cat, Spyder. She has worked as an editor and a ghostwriter for a number of companies and clients and is currently volunteering as an indie game tester and copyeditor while looking for full-time employment.
