Author bio

https://kristigott.com Hello Writers! I am blending my interests in studying history, mythology, and ancient peoples with my interest in studying fiction writing. Animals, both pets and wildlife, have always been a big passion in my life. The stories are a blend of historical fiction and touches of fantasy or magical reality. I've lived on water all my life - on the central California coast of the U.S. and now in the rainforest wilderness of the central Oregon. I am writing light, whimsical, historical fiction - for kids around 10 years old through adults. website: https://kristigott.com -- (You'll need to copy that address and paste it into a search box. My dog, a lab - border collie - aussie mix named Coos Bay Bear (after a well known Oregon bay) likes to roam the coastal forests, mountain trails, and boat docks at the ports with me. He helps me think of new story ideas! Thank you for visiting my profile. Happy writing!
