About the author

Kat Cataclysm is quite a character: absurdist short fiction writer, recovering slam poet, wannabe stand-up comedian, and the not-so-pure invention of Julia Serano. In other words, as the French would say, she is a nom de plume. Except that the French don’t say “nom de plume,” they say “nom de guerre.” Which literally means “war name.” Although Kat has never fought in any wars. Nor would she want to.
Her first foray into the wide world of publishing is General Surgery and Surgeons General: a professionally hand-crafted modern-day chapbook introducing readers to the silly, surreal, and sex-positive world of Kat Cataclysm. Or vice versa. This modest collection offers a potpourri of Kat’s absurdist short stories, slam poems, and whimsical musings, which touch upon and/or outright tackle diverse topics such as YA dystopian fiction, photosynthesis, mountain climbing, temporal anomalies, bisexuality, Santa Claus, Prince’s song lyrics, malapropisms & paraprosdokians, and the trials and travails of the contemporary author.
Ms. Cataclysm is hard at work on her eventual debut novel 99 Erics. It is about the protagonist’s experiences writing a book about her supposed experiences dating ninety-nine different people named Eric. It is more surreal than slutty. Not that there is anything wrong with slutty.
