Kristen Darling is a professional website developer who currently resides in Ohio with her husband Dominic, and her three children; Talia, Napier and Romero. She has a degree in English Writing / Political Science from the University of Pittsburgh, and has been passionate about writing since the day she wrote her first short story in red crayon... on her mother’s living room wall. At some point, Kristen exchanged her crayon for a computer keyboard and began writing in a professional capacity; both in fictional and non-fictional settings. She has contributed to several blogs and maintains several websites, including a public diary website where she also keeps her own diary under a secret pen name. When she is not creating websites, cleaning up after her children, or trying to grocery shop without suffering a panic attack, Kristen can be found under her bed with a flashlight, reading the latest novels, eating chocolate chip cookies, and trying to hide from her children.
