Kristin Walker

Kristin Walker grew up roaming the Pennsylvania countryside. She finally landed at Penn State, where she earned a BA in Theatre Arts. In addition to being actor, Kristin was many things on her way to becoming an author, such as a lifeguard, a nanny, a beginning ballroom dance instructor, a library circulation clerk, and very nearly a nurse.

Her first novel, A MATCH MADE IN HIGH SCHOOL, was published in 2010. 7 CLUES TO WINNING YOU is her second novel from Razorbill (Penguin Group). Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in LADYBUG, WEE ONES, and two CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL books. Kristin lives in a Philadelphia suburb with her husband and three sons.

“I write.
Sometimes I write books, sometimes I write poems, sometimes I write blog posts, sometimes I write grocery lists. Today, for example, I’m writing my biography, which definitely will count toward my work day. Everything counts. Every last word. One funny thing you might find out about writers is that we measure everything by word-count.”
