Kristyn Pacione is a Toronto-born writer embracing her new West Coast life on Vancouver Island, BC. A lifelong pluviophile, tea addict, and lover of the macabre, she is pursuing her dream of writing dark and twisted tales inspired by her quiet coastal town. She has a BA in Anthropology and Museum Studies, and her new adult dark fantasy novel was selected for mentorship through the Humber School for Writers Postgraduate program in Creative Writing (2020). Her current work-in-progress is an adult gothic fantasy novel influenced by her years working in museums and archives, which may or may not have been haunted.
