Krystal Claxton (she/her) is a Systems Engineer I with unfortunate aspirations involving fiction, words, and publishing.

She was tragically born with a miscalibrated sense of humor, and lived in nine US states before the age of thirteen. The combination of the two has left her with an oscillating accent and a habit of laughing at things that aren’t funny. She currently lives in Georgia with her long-suffering spouse, a dog who thinks its a cat, and a number of children that is subject to change.

You can find her short fiction in Cast of Wonders, Daily Science Fiction, Factor Four Magazine, Fireside Magazine, Flash Fiction Online, Nature: Futures, Podcastle, and Unidentified Funny Objects 3.

She enjoys breaking Heinlein’s Rules, getting distracted by Dragon Con, and feverishly researching whichever random topic has just piqued her interest.
