About K. Van Kramer—

Author and Artist

​

 

Born in Wisconsin in 1965, the daughter of a soil scientist, she often accompanied her father on his soil testing expeditions and fieldwork for local farmers —experiences that sparked her lifelong fascination with science and the natural world.  

​

After moving to Florida at twelve, she completed high school and earned her B.A. in graphic design from the University of Florida. She built a career as a designer and artist, eventually exhibiting her fine art in a local gallery - Art Works in downtown St. Petersburg while winning several Addy Awards in graphic design.

​

Prompted by a close friend and writer, she illustrated two children’s books, including The Man Who Planted Seeds and A Symbiotic Tale. During the same period, she began writing her own novels. Her early influence in agriculture shaped her first stories, including The Phobos Series, a sci-fi trilogy centered on agriculture and survival on Mars.

 

After the Phobos trilogy, she has published a standalone sci-fi novel, Modified,  a cozy mystery, Six and a Half Days to Cairo, and a techno-thriller, The Kamchatka Incident. She now lives in North Carolina, painting in her studio or writing out her next story. Her first book, Escape To Phobos, reached Amazon’s #40th ranking in sci-fi colonization.
