Kitty Chandler was born and raised in Washington DC, in a bilingual household of hippies, teachers, computer programmers, musicians, and scholars. With this eclectic background and the encouragement of her family, she began writing stories at a very young age. For her high school senior project she wrote a novel, which yet lives in her imagination even if the initial drafts are buried in a shallow, unmarked grave. She studied anthropology and history in college, but went on to work at her family's craft supply store in Asheville, NC. Following the slow shuttering of the store because of the Covid-19 pandemic she began training as a web developer, thus bringing her life full circle as she spent many of her school lunch hours in the computer lab making garish Geocities web pages for her fanfiction. She appreciates the symmetry.

Kitty has published several short stories in small magazines and anthologies, as well as self-publishing three novels. Although she tries to maintain an average of three novel first drafts and two novels edited per year, 2020 was a stressful outlier year for her, as for so many others. She is now working on getting back on her feet, picking up her projects again and resuming her submissions. She still lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains with her supportive husband, her humble but enthusiastic garden, and a variable number of cats.
