I’m K.T. Sargent, and I write fantasy and sci-fi novels with a serious dose of steamy romance and adventure (I favor RH, tbh).
Welcome to my crib.
I grew up with books being some of my best friends. Of course, I have human best friends too, but they would prefer that I not discuss their ins and outs with strangers as I’m inclined to do with Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Katniss Everdeen, Zoey Redbird, and my other fictional favorites.
Turning my love of reading into a practical career, I became a teacher, a position which allowed me to teach The Lightning Thief, collecting more future campers for Uncle Rick on the down-low.
However, recently my imagination has been flourishing with intriguing characters and landscapes, and overflowing with stories that are begging to be told. Upon realizing the calling as an author, I ventured forth into the world of writing.
You, dear reader, have stumbled upon me at the beginning of my career when the glimpses of badass heroines, smoldering heroes, and wonderous magical worlds are still floating in the aether, just waiting for me to snatch them down onto the page.
Here you can follow my progress through blog posts, monthly newsletters, and books and short stories as they are published. I invite you to leave a comment or question or just a simple “Hi!” If you’d like to know whenever a new story or book has been published, sign up for my newsletter and you’ll receive a FREE collection of three short stories that are prequels to my first book series, The Huntsmen and other bonus material along the way!
And yes, I will completely fangirl out if you let me. Feel free to join me on social media to fuel my addiction!! I will totally debate character motives and plot, scour fanfiction for my OTPs, and attend conventions dressed to the nines for my favorite fandoms (books and more), like Harry Potter, Supernatural, Percy Jackson (PJO and HOO), Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, Throne of Glass, Merlin, and the list goes on and on.
A little bit more about me personally: I devour books like candy, and I consume candy like it’s oxygen. Actually, I adore food in general. I love learning about the world (and beyond) through travel and podcasts, as well as TV and movies. I’m a fan of multiple genres, but primarily fantasy and science fiction, as you’ve probably guessed. Though, I’m a bit of a sucker for a B-list action movie.
I also enjoy hiking and learning about animals, and nature in general. I have a border collie who’s slowly turning into a crotchety old man, and I’m currently living in Chicago, in the U.S., though I’m originally from Florida 🙂
