My writing practice is heavily influenced by a fascination with the paranormal, the arcane, and the historic. KiraButler.com strives to marry technology and creative influence: it is situated as the website of a writer fascinated with horror, fantasy, taphology, and historical fiction, but also has room to grow into other fields of interest as they present themselves.

I wanted to include room for biographical information, future book releases, and offer a dedicated space for my blog. Through the process, I’ve learned to tailor my content to an ever-growing audience. I’m excited to eventually include a dedicated web store for merchandise and self-published works.

As a horror writer who produces novels for young adult readers, I wanted the branding to represent my ties to gothic and folk literary traditions as they influence my practice. The typewriter is my craft and my link to the past, and the tiny batwings represent the people I want to speak to (young horror fans.)
