Kit Queen

As an author, Kit Queen is anything but normal. They have been building mountains out of paragraphs and painting whole worlds in vivid color since before they could even walk properly. And as a Demisexual, Genderqueer Hellenic Pagan Witch with an affinity for pop culture and anime, their interests as well as their writing have always gone against the norm. The stories that they specify in are fantasies that make you question your reality. Fiction is the fire that fuels this absurd writer’s heart and soul, and they want to use it to brighten the world.

Why does Dr. Dalia Jessman always get stuck with the newbies? Why couldn’t she be assigned someone who had the same passion for studying the toxic remains of a post-apocalyptic Earth?

The Woman in White
