Her first novel, Steeplechase, was published in 2013. Her work is described as "Transgressive, sardonic, lyrical, comic; irresistibly erotic yet also romantic, Krissy Kneen's writing has been acclaimed for its fearless honesty. In this suite of linked stories, she addresses taboos of all kinds with a subtle wit and an insistence on sexual pleasure that will delight readers"[1]
