INDEPENDENT ARTIST OF THE MONTH
April 2016
Karmin Zima Kavanagh was born at some point within the last few hundred years, somewhere… probably a town or a city. She admits she’s pretty bad with details when it comes to real life, which is seldom as interesting as fiction and hardly ever contains talking ravens or intergalactic hostage negotiations.
Her fiction debut, Inviscera, is a vivid and violent reworking of classic fairytale lore, a stylish, atmospheric, romantically gothic parable about the onset of womanhood, the loss of innocence and the wages of desire. It’s available to buy on Kindle. Some of Karmin’s major influences include Neil Gaiman, Angela Carter and Ursula Le Guin.
Karmin collects broken clocks and never knows what time it really is. She’s an advocate of sleeping irresponsibly late and then breakfasting on beer and jelly beans. She’s also a totally unqualified but enthusiastic practitioner of radical extreme-velocity acupuncture [Results may differ from descriptions in pamphlet].
Yes, her hair really looks like that.
