Naomi Kritzer

I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, though I was born in North Carolina, lived in Indiana and Houston, Texas before I turned five, and spent a year living in London when I was 13. I moved to Minnesota to attend college, and haven't left. My husband and I have two daughters and three cats. I post regularly about the daughters and occasionally about writing on my blog at http://www.livejournal.com/users/naomikritzer/

Naomi Kritzer recommends

Someone You Can Build a Nest In (2024)
John Wiswell
"The coziest, most unexpectedly wholesome love story about a monster who devours humans and wears their bones that I've ever read!"

Bad Company (2022)
(Bad Company Books, book 1)
Adam Stemple
"No one writes bastard-son-of-a-bitch characters as brilliantly as Adam Stemple!"
