Welcome, I’m Kura Carpenter, Dunedin Author and Graphic Designer.

My debut Urban Fantasy novel, The Kingfisher’s Debt, a funny, fast-paced mystery full of dark humour and darker magic won the 2019 SJV special award for Best New Talent.

I’m the co-host of the SpecficNZ Podcast, an active member of RWNZ, and founding member of Dunedin Speculative Fiction.

As a Freelance Graphic Designer I’m available for Book Design including cover and interior layout.
