K.J. Sutton is the Amazon bestselling author of the Fortuna Sworn Saga, a series that has reached readers around the world and earned recognition from Kirkus Reviews.

She grew up in Minnesota and earned her master’s degree in Creative Writing from Hamline University. She now makes her home there in a plant-filled house with floor-to-ceiling windows, a piano in the corner, and a collection of bird feeders on the porch. When she isn’t writing in her favorite coffee shop, she’s likely walking her dogs with an audiobook in her ears or hunting for thrifted treasures.

She also writes young adult novels as Kelsey Sutton.

K.J. Sutton shared a quote “If you think about the people in the world who everyone remembers, the people who actually made something of themselves? They aren’t usually known for sticking to the status quo or following in someone else’s footsteps. Maybe being the black sheep just means we’re supposed to make our own legacies.” K.J. Sutton

“She crawled,” Ben said. There were tears in his voice. That was wrong. Ben barely even tolerated me on the best of days. “She crawled to the bathroom to clean herself again. If it weren’t for the two subs in the pack, I’d be on the bottom. And she wouldn’t stand up in my presence for guilt.”
