Originally from the Midwest, Karin Mitchell now lives, writes and skis in the Colorado Rockies with her husband and two boys. She spends her time teaching, writing, and skiing. Karin holds a Master's of Arts in Writing from Regis University and an Bachelor’s in Education from St. Louis University. Karin loves learning and school and kids and fun. That’s the formal version. The real me? I am afraid of changing light bulbs. I HATE feet. I hate condiments. I check behind the shower curtain of people's houses because I'm the kind of person who would hide there to scare someone. When I was six I went to school with my coat and no shirt on and made it all day without anyone finding out. When I was ten I didn't brush my hair for four months. My favorite errand is going to the library. I will pull things out of the trash to recycle them. I love to have conversations about all the things you’re not supposed to talk about. I hate country music and jam bands. I have great aim when throwing things like rocks or ping pong balls, but I can't play an upper body sport to save my life. I get competitive about weird stuff like who can spit a watermelon seed farthest. I love life. Writing and skiing are my sanity. I have a master’s degree in writing. I love going to school. I graduated with almost 200 credit hours when 120 were required. I speak Swedish and can lick my own elbow. I’m kinda weird.
