KM Schumacher writes speculative fiction for an adult audience. Expect horror themes, romance, damaged characters, flawed systems, and a critique on human nature and our place in the world. Her writing is influenced by history, sociology, philosophy, mythology, and politics. She writes about fierce female characters who don't need saving and the men who support them. She's a fan of an existential crisis (for characters and readers alike) and doesn't mind a cliffhanger. She lives in Australia with her partner, children, and three bossy housecats.

She also writes epic fantasy under Kate Schumacher and has published two series: The Fires of Aileryan Duology (Shadow of Fire and Heart of Flame) and The Grail Cycle (The Call of the Sea, A Song of Magic, On this Broken Earth, and To Rule a Kingdom).
