Kristene Perron

Kristene Perron has been shot, stabbed, drowned, run over and thrown from a building. During her ten years as a professional stuntwoman, she learned all the interesting ways a person can get injured or die and then applied this unique education to her fiction.

Her stories have appeared in Escape Pod, Storyteller Magazine, Barbaric Yawp, Hemispheres Magazine, and Denizens of Darkness. In 2010 she won the Surrey International Writers' Conference Storyteller Award and in 2015 she was a Writers of the Future finalist.

In 2009, Kristene collaborated with Joshua Simpson, a Texan, on a short story, which quickly became a full length novel manuscript, and then morphed into an outline of a five book series. The first four books of this adventure science fiction series--Warpworld, Wasteland Renegades, Ghost World, and Final Storm--are available now, and she continues to write short stories when she actually has that rare thing known as "free time".

In 2014, the first Warpworld novel won Honorable Mention in the Eric Hoffer Book Awards (Commercial Fiction category) and was a Montaigne Medal finalist.

Pathologically nomadic, Kristene has lived on both sides of the equator and in several time zones. Beautiful Quadra Island, BC, Canada is her current home, shared with her two North American Carpet Panthers, and her ever-patient husband, Fred, who reminds her to eat and even manages to get her out of the writing cave now and then.
