Kathryn DeFazio has been writing fiction of varying quality since she learned how to hold a pencil (incorrectly, as it turned out). For about two years, she has been working on BackwardsCompatibility, an original speculative fiction universe about a candy-fueled queer robot who escapes his laboratory to find his original programmer. At the moment, she is taking time off to work on the second draft of a first novel and the first draft of a second novel. According to her mother, she still hasn’t learned to hold a pencil properly. Kathryn lives in Manhattan with her primary partner and step-parrot.
