Co-author of The Palimar Saga, an epic flintlock fantasy series released in Jan 2024
K. R. Solberg
K R (Kirsten) Solberg believes in the enduring power of story. She’s a wordsmith, graphic artist, and not too bad with a camera. Armed with a Bachelor of Arts in writing from Metro State University, she dwells in the woods of Wisconsin with her patient husband and their two book-obsessed children. She is disastrously introverted and chronically sarcastic.
Kirsten has roots in St. Paul, Minnesota, where her storytelling journey began under the nurturing wing of her mother and co-author. Her father’s dramatic bed-time readings of Tolkien contributed to this obsession.
These days, literature, camping, anime, and deep-fried cheese curds fuel her creative fires. She wishes she had a cooler origin story, but those are reserved for the varied and dynamic characters found in the pages of The Palimar Saga, a gripping flintlock fantasy series she wrote alongside C R Jacobson.

The relentless pursuit of a fugitive brings a reluctant hunter to a city rife with treachery, where he finds himself at odds with a jaded smuggler.
When Shane zem’Arta fails to capture escaped con artist Daeven Kritcher, his reputation is put on the line. The Freeland spire lords he works for do not forgive easily. Leaving his crew behind, he chases Kritcher up the coast of Palimar to the seaside city of Estbye.
Shane reunites with Jon Therman, a smuggler with his own dubious agenda. Their goals align, but Shane’s target is no slouch. With the help of Jon’s clever daughter, Ella, Shane closes in on Kritcher. But things never seem to go Shane’s way, especially in this city.
The Smuggler’s Deal, a companion novella to K. R. Solberg and C. R. Jacobson’s Remnant, presents an intriguing introduction to the world of Palimar, where immortals rule from splendid temples and their enemies lurk in grand towers. In this treacherous world of cults, magic, and guns, only the most cunning mortals survive.
