K. Tempest Bradford
Tempest is a speculative fiction writer born in Cincinnati, Ohio. She’s lived in many different places, including Denver, Colorado, Ft. Worth, Texas, and New York City, where she currently resides. She attended New York University’s Gallatin School for Individualized Study where she had the opportunity to write and produce several plays and performance pieces (under the name K. T. Bradford) in Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway spaces.
Since 2000 she’s concentrated on fiction, with stories appearing in the Interfictions anthology, Farthing Magazine, Peridot Books, Abyss & Apex, and more. In 2003 she attended the Clarion West Writer’s Workshop and prior to that was a member of the OWW (SF&F Online Writing Workshop) for many years. She currently co-coordinates the Ohayo Mountain Retreat in New York State. Though her heart is in science fiction and fantasy, many of her stories don’t fit squarely into one genre or another. Consequently, she is an active member of the Interstitial Arts Foundation.
Tempest is African-American (with a few other ethnicities thrown in). She is a member of the Carl Brandon Society.
Tempest has worked as an editor or assistant editor for Peridot Books (now Allegory Magazine), The Fortean Bureau, and Sybil’s Garage. She is currently the non-fiction editor for Fantasy Magazine.
