Bestselling author of the Greywalker novels, Kat Richardson currently lives in Western Washington, writing and editing science fiction, crime, mystery, and fantasy. She is a former journalist and editor, with a wide range of non-fiction publications on topics from technology, software, and security, to history, health, and precious metals. A lifelong fan of crime and mystery fiction, and films noir, she is also the author of Scattered Objects, a science fiction police thriller coming soon from Pyr Books under the pseudonym K. R. Richardson. She’s taught writing workshops for Clarion West, Cascade Writers, PNWA, Mystery Writers of America, ArmadilloCon, and Foolscap, and when not writing or researching, she may be found malingering with her dogs, shooting, or dabbling with paper automata.
