K. D. Azariah-Kribbs ’s story “The Three Sisters” was published in Metaphorosis on Friday, 30 March 2018. With some stories, I can remember where I was standing when I got the idea. “The Three Sisters” didn’t come to me quite so immediately, but seemed to slowly crystallize out of what I have learned from life with my wife and daughters, and about how difficult you can make things for yourself when you worry that you …

A question for K. D. Azariah-Kribbs

These images seem to be the foundation that underlies everything I write, and I can’t even dredge up a recollection of where I got them. I wish I could, for I would love to go back and read them again, but I suspect that what they were wouldn’t bear much resemblance to what they have become.

About K. D. Azariah-Kribbs

K.D. Azariah-Kribbs grew up in the hills of east Tennessee, a place where twilight starts early and lasts long. He studied geology in school, but when that didn’t answer the big questions he went back for medieval English literature. That didn’t quite do it, either. He traveled widely as a prospector, decided southern India has the best climate anywhere, and now writes speculative fiction in Maryland, where it’s easy to speculate about how things might have been otherwise.
