Ursula Vernon

T. Kingfisher shares a remarkable resemblance (and frequently identical spatial coordinates) with Nebula and Hugo Award winning author and illustrator Ursula Vernon. Ms. Kingfisher is best known for her innovative fairy tale retellings, short stories, romance and horror novels, and the 2021 Locus Award winning young adult novel A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking. Ms. Vernon is best known for her acclaimed children's book series' Dragonbreath and Hamster Princess, more award winning short stories, the young adult novel Castle Hangnail, and the Hugo Award winning graphic novel Digger. Ms. Kingfisher lives in North Carolina with her husband, her garden, and their many disobedient pets. She is fond of both wombats and sushi, but not in the same way, and has an unhealthy obsession with mulch.
