Author Meet & Greet with Kristan Cannon. October 22nd @ 2pm. Kristan Cannon is a Canadian author who has spent more than two decades moving between genres, forms, and occasionally identities in pursuit of a good story. She has nearly twenty years of professional writing experience spanning short fiction, content marketing, and freelance work. Today, she writes science fiction and fantasy as K.M. Cannon, mystery and crime as Eve Morrison, and romantasy as Selena Gray. The different names are intentional: each serves a distinct genre, audience, and approach to storytelling.
