K. Eason
Agent
K. Eason started telling tales in her early childhood. After earning two degrees in English literature, she decided to stop writing about everyone else’s stories and get back to writing her own. Now she teaches first-year college students about the zombie apocalypse, Aristotelian ethics, and Beowulf (not all at once). She lives in Southern California with her husband and two black cats, and she powers everything with coffee.

Reviews
The Weep
Nightwatch on the Hinterlands (#1)
“Readers seeking a genre-blending tale will enjoy Eason’s no-nonsense tone as she sets the plot of a thriller within her established world of science fiction and fantasy.”Booklist
"The stakes become higher and higher as the story progresses, with all of the characters in mortal danger at one time or another [...] I can hardly wait to read the follow-up! Highly recommended."
“Eason has a real talent for building engrossing and intricate worlds that feel both whimsical and real at the same time.”
"[F]ast-paced and action packed [...] hard to put down."
"Eason has picked a time and place where things are changing, trouble is brewed, and there are battle hexes to arrange, mysteries to solve, and dangers to fight. "
“[A] blow-away tale of high-tech magic in the far future.... This is an edge-of-your-seat exciting tale set in a very unusual universe. I hope it finds its way to awards."
"NIGHTWATCH is a book that, in less capable hands, might collapse under its own inventive worldbuilding. But Eason pulls it off, thanks to perfect pacing and the delightfully colorful duo at its core. Splendid stuff!"Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestseller
"Interstellar intrigue, nightmares from the void, killer robots, and the magic of arithmancy. NIGHTWATCH ON THE HINTERLANDS is a perfect blending of sci-fi and fantasy with a pair of the most unlikely and enjoyable detectives you'll ever meet."Stephen Blackmoore, author of Bottom Demon
“Magic, power armor, extradimensional monsters — this thrilling mash-up of sci-fi and fantasy kept me turning pages long past my bedtime."Dan Moren, author of the Galactic Cold War series
“Eason rips open the barrier between science fiction and fantasy to create an action-packed mystery with a distinctive voice, intriguing characters, and incredible worldbuilding.”Jim C. Hines, author of Terminal Alliance
Nightwatch Over Windscar (#2)
"Eason excels at action sequences, and the new villain is wonderfully frightening....A nice balance of political complications and SF action sequences."
"Packs in cool action sequences"
"Nightwatch Over Windscar continues The Weep series, with all of the strengths of the first (Nightwatch on the Hinterlands) and not a single bit of mid-series downturn."
"Eason tempers the technical elements with fascinating world-building, carefully developed characters and plenty of high stakes action, all of which made this a blast to read."
"I fell into this book deeply...the characters are so well-written and I was invested in the outcome.... I definitely had my curiosity satisfied, and hope to see more in this universe."
"Science fiction with flair and menace, battles and monsters."Mary Soon Lee, award-winning author of The Sign of the Dragon
The Thorne Chronicles
How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse (#1)
"Told with just enough editorializing from a Dickensian narrator, [HOW RORY THORNE DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE] delights from cover to cover. The political intrigue never fails to surprise, each character is layered and compelling, and there’s a perfect balance between science-fiction action and fairy-tale fantasy. Do not, under any circumstances, miss out on this."
"This has been pitched as Princess Bride meets Princess Leia, which is a tall order to fill, but, by golly, does it succeed! Eason adds a feminist modern twist to fairy tale and sf tropes while presenting an intergalactic adventure that enthralls in its own right, striking that ideal balance between original and familiar. The playful writing style allows the readers to laugh at the silly scenes while also fully engaging with the characters’ emotions. A delightful start to what promises to be a smart, unique series."
“Exquisitely written with complex characters, sardonic wit, and immersive worldbuilding. Highly recommended for all readers.”
“HOW RORY THORNE DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE leans heavily and often on its boundary position between science fiction, fantasy, and folklore, continually defying expectations.”
“HOW RORY THORNE DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE not-so-stealthily overturns the patriarchal undercurrent of most fairy tales, which is a delight to read.”
“Anyone who has ever dreamed of being a princess (fairy tale, space, or otherwise) will be delighted by this clever reimagining of all-too-familiar tropes.”Seattle Book Review
“The world and cast are fun, cool, and do a great job […] HOW RORY THORNE DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE should resonate with every reader.”
“Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and picture outer space plus fairy tales plus political intrigue plus magic. Whatever you’re thinking of, HOW RORY THORNE DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE is all those things, but better.”
“HOW RORY THORNE DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE […] joyfully and brazenly embraces sci-fi and fantasy, magic and space, the topes of space opera and those of the classical fairy tale.”
“A genre-blending recipe for perfection.”
"[This] book just flat-out charms you [...] Eason's heroine is a whirlwind, a one-woman battering ram whose tenacity is exciting and funny [...] I anticipate many more pages of Rory confounding expectations."BookPage
"This novel blends feminism with classic tropes, and the result is unique and engrossing."
“Everything is exquisite from the world-building to the snark.”
“HOW RORY THORNE DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE is a breezy and pleasant tale with a cast of likeable characters.”
“Joyfully, delightfully amazing.”
“A fantastic space opera–witty, bombastic, and loads of fun!”
“A perfect mash-up of fantasy and science fiction, this book is an ambitious tale full of sparkling characters, political maneuvering, a cool magic system and much more.”
“How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse is an absolutely delightful read from beginning to end […] I highly recommend it to readers who like fantasy and science fiction mixed with some sly humor.”
“This book is a breath of feminist fueled fresh air! I didn’t realize how much I needed a story about a princess saving herself and saving the prince until now. I’ll never look at another fairy tale the same again!”PureFandom
“Fun and feminist, unique and stylish, with a heroine who’ll steal your heart. If fairy tales and space opera had a clever baby with a big vocabulary and a rebellious streak, this would be it.”Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times-bestselling author of Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire
“This is big, imaginative space opera at its best. Filled with complex characters and twisty politics, Rory Thorne is an awesome ride.”Michael Mammay, author of Planetside
“Rory Thorne raises the bar for self-rescuing princesses everywhere. This clever fusion of unforgiving fairy tale and fanciful space opera destroyed me emotionally in all the best ways.”Curtis C. Chen, author of Waypoint Kangaroo
How the Multiverse Got Its Revenge (#2)
“This fantasy-space-opera hybrid provides no shortage of action, interstellar hijinks, and fuel for future installments. Series readers will be pleased.”
“A fun, feminist space opera that gives the wonderful secondary characters plenty of page time.”Booklist
“Readers who like smart, detailed science fiction that has a lot of action but also prizes negotiation, inclusion, empathy, and teamwork will like this book.”
"A buffet of excellent character writing...This series is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory."
"Poole once again delights as the omniscient, sarcastic, and droll narrator."
On the Bones of Gods Series
Enemy (#1)
“A solid entry into the fantasy genre, [ENEMY] boasts strong sociopolitical themes and unique, layered characters.”
“It’s a great debut […] This is rich, complex, and realistic world building with societies, religions, social-classes, and self-interest all in conflict. If you love the worlds created by authors like Hurley and Jemisin, you’ll feel right at home in the Illhari Republic with ENEMY”.
Ally (#3)
“This might be the best fantasy series you have never heard of.”Michael Mammay, author of PLANETSIDE
