J. Autumn Needles is particularly fascinated with bodies and books. She teaches fitness to satisfy her interest in how bodies move, and when she’s not teaching or moving her own body, she’s curled up with a cup of tea and a book.

She recently started making comics, and right now she’s making one about a clumsy spider. She likes spiders and also chickens.
