K.L. Mitchell
K. L. Mitchell was raised all over the South in a series of increasingly tiny towns until she finally joined the Air Force out of a desire for some Culture. She’s spent most of her professional life working on computers in one capacity or another and occasionally manages to get them actually to work.
She's been writing for fun most of her life and for publication since about 2011. She's written for multiple websites and local publications and, in 2013, was a recurring columnist for the Kansas City Star. She lives with a gray cat named Molly and would like to be an astronaut when she grows up.
Favorite Lesbian/Lesfic Book:
My Point, And I Do Have One by Ellen Degeneres. It’s kind of odd to look back these days and remember she started off as a comedian with a very offbeat sense of humor. Still holds up.
Favorite Book:
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I’d never encountered something like it before, combining humor and genre fiction and amazingly well-written.

She enlists the aid of Abigail Dawson, a prim English historian and archaeologist whose dreams of fieldwork have run aground in the backrooms of an old museum.

Wandering adventurer Revka and her centaur girlfriend Iyarra head west in search of easy work and cheap drinks, and instead find action, adventure, and excitement at every turn. Again. At the very edge of the frontier, the two adventurers find themselves in the little centaur town of Red Valley, last stop of the long wagon trains out west, but the town—and the mountains it borders—guards a secret ancient and terrible, which naturally some bunch of cloaked-and-hooded goons are doing their best to unearth. So the two find themselves caught on both sides of a shadow war between two secret societies, all the while dealing with bandits, stampedes, labor disputes, and the ever-present Code of the West. Will Revka and Iyarra manage to save the day? Will the secret buried deep in the heart of the mountain be revealed? Will the last western town be turned into a tatty suburb? And what of the mysterious goddess maneuvering events behind the scenes? Join Revka and Iyarra in their third adventure in the land of Kalazad, where the west isn’t just wild, it’s downright unhinged.
