Kristen Ciccarelli

Kristen Ciccarelli hails from Ontario's Niagara Peninsula, where she grew up on her grandfather's grape farm. Raised by her very large Slovenian family, Kristen spent her childhood running wild with her cousins, adventuring in the woods, bilding forts in the barn, and obsessing over books, dragons, and girls wielding really cool weapons. These days Kristen resides in Kitchener, Ontario, with her blacksmith and her dog named Yonder. She wrote The Last Namsara for the girl she used to be (and sometimes still is).
