K. M. Herkes writes stories dance in the open spaces between genres, and her novels play in the literary traffic, dodging between science fiction, fantasy, thrills, and realism. 

Creating imaginary worlds has been a passion since childhood, but bugs, plants, computers, and chemistry also rank high on her list of  interests. Professional development has included lab work, classroom teaching, animal training, aquaculture, horticulture, retail operations, and library operations. Personal development is ongoing. Cats, cookies, and flowers are involved. She writes, fidgets, and is mostly quiet with a thirty-percent chance of loud. The rest is subject to change without notice.
