Kristin is usually up very late at night, either reading or writing something that's scaring her out of her wits. She is a fan of any literature that falls into the paranormal genre, vampire stories, zombie stories, and good old-fashioned ghost stories (especially those based in historical fiction). As a child, she lived just outside Salem, Massachusetts and probably knows more about the witch trials than any young woman her age should. She is also a tattoo enthusiast, cat herder, and has an incurable case of wanderlust. Her favorite professional authors include Philippa Gregory, Libba Bray, John Greene, Maggie Stiefvater, Stephen King, and of course... Anne Rice. When not working on her own writing or slaving away at work, she can be found perusing the work of other authors on sites like Book Country, and on blogs.
