Hey friends! I'm Krista, and I write and record in a closet in Port Coquitlam, BC.<br><br>I write primarily Fantasy, in both short and long fiction, with stories published in Pulp Literature, Heart's Kiss, electricspec and <em>49th Parallels (</em>an Aurora nominated anthology). I love reading aloud, so I expanded into audiobook narration of my own work and several books for others.<br><br>As it happens I'm also a musician and an actor. Favourite roles were in <em>The Glass Menagerie,</em> <em>Twelfth Night,</em> <em>The Mystery of Edwin Drood, </em>and <em>Pinchpenny Phantom of the Opera</em>. My desire to support the arts for young people led me to work as Musical Director for a number of high school productions <em>(Les Mis, Hairspray, Urinetown, In the Heights, Rent, etc.)</em>.<br><br>I sang classical music with the Vancouver Bach Choir, then switched to jazz, rock and R&B. I had a rock cover band for a dozen years, called Earth to Doris, and have been the vocalist for the big band, <strong>FAT Jazz</strong> for over twenty years. I'm also half of a jazz duo called the <strong>Itty Bitty Big Band</strong>.<br><br>Find me by clicking on the little human icon below my photo above.
