Kris Piet was born in California and raised in Flagstaff, Arizona with her older sister and two cats. A graduate of the University of Nevada - Las Vegas in Allied Health Kinesiology, Kris is a nationally certified, licensed massage therapist and specializes in therapeutic bodywork for those involved in artistic sports such as gymnastics and figure skating, circus performance, and professional dance.

Throughout high school and college, writing was nothing more than a pleasant diversion. After working with Saundra on a number of small writing projects and coming to see the act of writing as a learned skill, Kris found a new zeal for the challenge and pursued writing as more of a sideline career than a distracting hobby.

Kris also enjoys drawing, Cirque du Soleil, musical theatre, and hoop-dancing, which she learned from renowned HoopGirl Christabel Zamor, all of which she feels balance her scientific, kinesiology side with her flare for the artistic and dramatic.

She now resides in Flagstaff, Arizona once more. And her childhood cats? Still alive.
