A wandering South African, K.I.S. has been writing fantasy stories since she was seven years old, eventually self-publishing her first novel, 'The Assays of Ata', in 2024. She holds a BA in English and history and is currently completing a Master's in Linguistics at the University of the Witwatersrand. An author of epic fantasy, short stories, and microfiction, she's been teaching English for ten years, the majority of which were spent in Doha, Qatar (where she still currently finds herself). Her hobbies (besides writing, of course) include knitting, crocheting, playing the ukulele, and (due to hailing from East London, South Africa) going for long, meandering walks on the beach whenever the opportunity presents itself.
