K. A. Bower spins romance out of the wonderfully weird—think cryptid meet-cutes, enchanted apartment buildings, and snacks inappropriate for polite society (don’t ask about the pesto incident). Her breakout monster-romance Claimed by the Mothman flitted to #20 on Amazon’s Free Fantasy-Romance chart, proving that love—and readers—have wings.

By day, Bower wrangles words and strategy for brands in the wilds of healthcare and tech; by night, she communes with folklore, spreadsheets her plot twists, and attempts to keep her basil alive. A firm believer that cozy vibes pair nicely with cosmic dread, she writes stories where tenderness, terror, and a dash of snark share the same cup of tea.

She lives in the Midwest with an obliging spouse, two opinionated cats, and way too many kitchen monotools. When she isn’t drafting sequels in the Greymarket Towers universe, you’ll find her singing with her band, testing spells of the culinary variety, or developing loyalty programs, because even eldritch horrors deserve great customer experience.

Say hi (or send cryptid sightings) at @kabowerwriter—she’ll probably answer, unless she’s lost in the stacks or flirting with another monster.
