Kirby Crow writes an astonishing range of genre fiction, focusing lately on New Adult Fantasy and Dark Paranormal stories. She worked as an entertainment editor and ghostwriter for several years before happily giving it up to bake, read yaoi, play video games, and write her own novels. These days, when she isn't writing, slaying Mirkwood orcs, or flying a battleship for the glory of the Amarr Empire, Kirby writes game code and works to perfect her digital art skills.
