T. Kingfisher

As the pen-name of the American novelist Ursula Vernon, the pseudonym T. Kingfisher has come to be synonymous with a certain style of fantasy and horror. Infusing the two together, she largely writes for adults under this moniker, delivering stories that really are rich and imaginative. When using her own name she mostly focuses on children’s literature, but the Kingfisher brand is primarily aimed at the older reader. Showing herself to be a highly versatile and gifted author too, she really understands what it is that she wants from the writing as well, making it work for her.
