About Kristy Ambrose

Kristy Ambrose has been writing professionally since 2010. She dabbles in various genres, but her favorites are fantasy and science fiction. She creates everything from fanfiction to serialized novels. Her inspiration comes from fellow beachcombers, foodies, and of course her fellow gamers.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English literature from the University of Victoria.

Favorite Games

Role-playing adventure games were my first love, with Zelda hooking me from the beginning, and the obsession continued with the early Baldur's Gate games and horror titles like Diablo and Resident Evil. 

Current favorites include World of Warcraft Classic and Baldur's Gate 3. 

Proudest Gaming Achievement

I played World of Warcraft since 2006. Winning the Stranglethorn Fishing Contest in Vanilla is still one of my most memorable moments. 

Industry Focus

I started writing about conventional literature, than I grew up and realized that movies and video games are also literature.

I love a good story and the lore of the games is always my favorite part, which is why I'm drawn towards RPGs and MMOs. My specialties are guides and lists that include a game's hidden secrets.
