About
kmCarter loves typewriters.
Favorite character since age 3: Miss Hannigan. Raised on Muppets, obscure animated features, and epic Saturday morning heroes like Captain Adora and Jerrica Benton. At age 9, she picked up a copy of Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffrey and realized for the first time ever, some people get paid to write books all day long.
One day, she saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind on TV, and her life was never the same again. (She bought the soundtrack on LP at a garage sale and often listened to it in a dark room, hoping to summon mother ships from the beyond.) Like you do when Spielberg changes your life, km knew instantly that she wanted to be a writer, screenwriter, or director one day. She entered an obsessive writing phase in 1993 and never figured out how to stop.
Always striving to tell more than one story at a time, kmCarter’s work is lyrically lush, visually colorful, radically honest, and passionately nostalgic. Tone and topics range from absurdist romance to multicultural cyborgs. Carter holds a Bachelor of English degree and a few smarty-pants honors, but her favorite recognition to date was the time an old classmate created a sandwich inspired by one of the puppets km made in middle school. Carter currently resides and independently publishes in Northeast Kansas.
