The daughter of a British globe-trotter, Kurtagich grew up all over the world, but her formative years were spent in Africa--on a mission, in the bush, in the city, and in the desert. She leaves her North Wales crypt after midnight during blood moons. The rest of the time, she exists somewhere between mushrooms, maggots, and mold.
