✍️ About the Author
If Kim McDougall could have one magical superpower, it would be to talk to animals. Or maybe to shift into animal form. Definitely, fantastical critters and magic often feature in her stories. So until Kim can change into a griffin and fly away, she writes dark and humorous Urban, Epic and Cozy Fantasy from her little farm at the edge of the woods in Quebec’s Outaouais Region.

Featured Book
Dragons Don’t Eat Meat (Valkyrie Bestiary, Book 1)
One baby dragon. One fae civil war. Zero chance of a quiet life.
The Flood Wars have come and gone, leaving a world at the mercy of magic. Kyra Greene is an exiled Valkyrie who finds her place in Montreal Ward as a pest controller of extraordinary creatures. She already has an apartment full of rescues, including a basilisk who thinks he’s a turkey, a banshee nanny, and a pygmy kraken. She might take care of them, but they also fill her need for family. And when that family is threatened, she’ll risk everything to save them.
🔍 Behind the Scenes
What inspired you to write your books?
Animals–and rescue animals in particular–are often at the heart of my writing. Valkyrie Bestiary came about because I wanted to bring that love of animals into a fantasy world.
What’s something readers might not know about you?
During the summer, I write in a tent, deep in the woods.
What’s next for you?
