Naomi Kuttner is a...
- cozy mystery & fantasy writer living in New Zealand - likes coffee, dark chocolate, & reading in the sun - lives 2 hours from Hobbiton - still not quite sure about the Oxford comma. When not busy raising her twin son and daughter or writing, Naomi spends her free time (ha!) surfing, wingfoiling, and retrieving her shoes from Max the dog.
Her Shadow Kingdom series is a blend of urban fantasy and Norse Mythology, and she's currently working on book 3 of a cozy mystery series set in New Zealand. Check out the Kickstarter here: https://naomikuttner.com/the-retired-assassins-guide-collectors-edition/
