K.L. Anderson @klandersonland.bsky.social · Dec 30
A revised #writingcommunity intro!

I’m K.L. Anderson, author of But First You Need a Plan (Leapfrog Press), a domestic drama with a mystery.

2024 was a quiet year, but I have a few short stories coming out in 2025.

I’m here to cheer writers on, engage with decent humans, and adore your pets.
Cover of paperback book. The title is But First You Need a Plan in big orange letters. The author name is K. L. Anderson. The cover has on it a human arm from the wrist down and the fingers turned up so that the palm forms a shallow cup. The arm is lying on pine needles and other organic debris that suggest a forested scene.

I‘m not sure if this is heavenly or apocalyptic.
Pretty, though.

1. Maybe you watch the episode on repeat, trying to decide how nervous you look. Maybe after twenty or thirty views you deconstruct it like I do, until this version
