Kristin Elizabeth Clark always knew she wanted to be a writer. She began dabbling in haiku in the third grade - this experimentation turned out to be a gateway to the harder stuff: book-length verse. She lives and writes in Northern California where she has worked as a child advocate within the juvenile justice system, and as a children's theatre producer. She is a proud volunteer at Project Outlet in Mountain View, CA. Freakboy is her young adult debut.
