M.K. Hutchins often draws on her background in archaeology when writing fantasy and science fiction. She’s the author of several novels, including The Redwood Palace and Ana’s Asteroid, along with over thirty short stories appearing in Podcastle, Cast of Wonders, Strange Horizons, and elsewhere. When not writing, she’s usually with her children as they grow veggies, bake, and play games together, though not usually all at the same time. Find her at https://linktr.ee/mkhutchins.
