K. J. Fieler is a novelist and former syndicated humor columnist whose work appeared in metropolitan Florida newspapers and Rockwall Texas Success. Her short story “Loyalty” was published in Chronicle Worlds: Legacy Fleet, an anthology included in the Lunar Codex’s Peregrine Collection, a literary and artistic time capsule carried aboard Astrobotic’s Peregrine lunar lander. Her debut novel, Shadow Runner, is the first installment in a three-book series.

​

Fieler has a longstanding involvement in the literary community, having served as author liaison for the Florida First Coast Writers’ Festival and contributed behind the scenes to the original production of Writer to Writer, a television series produced by Florida Community College at Jacksonville (now Florida State College at Jacksonville). The FSCJ Digital Archive credits her on several preserved segments alongside the festival’s original producers and crew. Her professional experience also includes publicity work for American authors Kevin Robinson, Patrick Davis Smith, Jack Hunter, and others.

​

As a member of the editorial team of State Street Review, the college’s flagship literary and arts magazine, Fieler contributed to the planning and production of its major seasonal editions. She was also active in Northeast Florida’s literary community through the Bard Society and North Florida Writers, organizations founded by Frank Armstrong Green, who remained her mentor for decades.

Today, Fieler divides her time between rural New Hampshire and the rugged landscapes of Arizona. An avid traveler, she spends much of the year exploring and writing from America’s state and national parks alongside her husband, traveling in their Airstream affectionately known as Tin Turtle.
