Hi there. I’m Kira. I’m in the Comparative Studies doctoral program, and I received my MA & BA in English from Kutztown University in PA.
I love fantasy literature, and sci-fi. Currently I’m reading Nemesis Games, the fifth book in the Expanse series by James S.A. Corey, AND The Fire Rose by Mercedes Lackey, which I’m not enjoying as much as I thought I would. I’m also a gamer, mainly Dragon Age, but I also love many others as well (Prince of Persia, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Psychonauts). I love coffee, beer, and cats. I used to perform in community theatre (some plays, but mostly musicals). I can play the piano. I am pretty addicted to Tumblr. I’m already making plans to attend the Epcot Food & Wine Festival this year (one of the only things that keeps me going back to Disney). Research-wise, I’m fascinated by storytelling across mediums, so transmedia is a big focus of mine, as well as fantasy studies.
Nice to meet you!
