Kat Vancil grew up in the heart of Silicon Valley, California where she amused herself by telling stories to anyone around her—her family, her friends, random strangers…cats. Eventually she started writing those stories down instead of hanging out in fake Ikea living rooms and telling them to her friends.

A valiant crusader for diversity, Kat blends geek culture, emerging science, and fantastical creatures to craft her unexpected coming-of-age tales of daemon royalty, super-tech, and shifter deities. Kat still lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, two very crazy studio cats, and eight overfull bookcases. And when not running amuck in the imaginary worlds within her head, she can usually be found frolicking in general geekiness.
