Kura enjoys reading, calligraphy, designing fabric and constructing miniature furniture from ice-block sticks. She has a greyhound, several chickens, and may or may not have an elderly ninja cat at the time of reading. She sews Victorian and Regency outfits, because she’s a writer and hello, not very practical. She also collects vintage sewing machines, but if her husband asks, she’s storing them for a friend.

Kura lives in Dunedin, New Zealand.
