Kayla Marie Hillier has been ‘livin’ large’ for more than a quarter of a century. She hails from a small town- nay, village of 600 people called Stoney Point or Pointe-aux-Roches which is found in the most southern part of the Canadian province of Ontario. She spent 18 years of her life there where she became ‘BFFs’ with the internet although she was limited by her dial up connection. Shhhhh shhhhhh beep bop boo beep shhhhhhh-

She left the nest to pursue “higher education” in the Niagara region at Brock University where she achieved a degree in both Philosophy and Film and managed to write well over 100 articles for the Canadian University Press.

She left her Toronto home (read:basement apartment) in late 2009 to wander around England as the country managed to woo her with an impressive display of overcast skies. As of November 2011 she now resides in Edinburgh, Scotland which is the loveliest of all the major British cities. There she consumes all of the haggis.

She loves comics. Lots. She has completed a webcomic GALAVANT which documents her travels throughout the UK over a period of 3 months- she’s also involved in Julia Scheele’s 69 Love Songs, Illustrated project. She’s currently working on a new comic short story called “Chips” and a travel-related piece for Paper Science 7.

Two of the most influential people for her when we’re talkin’ comics are Jeffrey Brown and Ai Yazawa.

As a writer, she’s currently trudging through the muck of creating second drafts to two novels that she’s written over the past two years.
