Heaven's Tempest ARC submissions open July 27th!
Writer, artist, gamer, and overall geek, K.J. West has been daydreaming and writing stories since she was very young. Her first being a fully illustrated short story created at the precious age of seven called The Pegases Land (typo included). Otherwise known as Aeo online, K.J. West currently lives in Austin, Texas, alongside her partner, her four special needs cats, and one loud shouty parrot.
I dabbled in publishing under an alias when I was twenty-four, but lost touch until I made it my 2024 new year resolution to draft a book from start to finish. On March 10th, 2025, I finished my first draft.
I've always been an artist, through and through. Crayons, then color pencils, then digital—a true jack-of-all-trades artist with experience in designing machine embroidery, sewing, sculpting, and other things.
My current focus is fully digital art drawn using Procreate. Please check my VGEN link for art commissions!
