Two students living in different time periods travel between the present day and pre-WWI using an old camera found in their university's library, and fall in love over a series of adventures.

Hello new folks!

I'm Kirsten and I write spooky and magical comics and picture books.

I wrote I AM HEXED in which queer witches untangle a magical-political conspiracy with an accidentally carnivorous plant that meows.

I have three cats, many crocheting projects and an extensive lavender garden
