A queer bundle of nerves sprung from the tidal flats of Puget Sound, K. D. Hume grew up immersed in the magic and mystery of the Pacific Northwest. A graduate of the Evergreen State College and a voracious reader with a taste for science fiction and fantasy, Hume’s fictional works trend toward Solarpunk and Pacific Northwest Gothic.
Hume spends the majority of her free time swimming across nearby bodies of water, sometimes while wearing a mermaid tail. The rest of her time is spent reading in the bath, doing witchcraft, and convincing friends and partners to go on unusual adventures.
Hume’s first novel, Persons of Consequence, details the love story between two college girls caught up in a burgeoning cult in the woods.
there is such a dramatic flair in everything k.d. hume writes. i've read so our idols are dead: empowerment poems a couple times and i'm reading Persons of Consequence and there's no doubt in my mind that k.d. hume as a glorious talent for writing, stunning intellect and a flair for the dramatics. this book is no different. the flair is there. the talent is there. the intellect is there.
