Kariss name means “grace” but graceful she is not (most of the time). She is an extroverted introvert who would rather write with people in the room so she can talk at the same time than hide in a corner. Kariss Lynch began her writing career in third grade when she created a story about a magical world for a class assignment. Chasing her dream into college, she received a degree in English at Texas Tech University and fell in love with writing faith-based fiction about characters with big dreams, adventurous spirits, and bold hearts. Kariss is a diehard Texan, born and bred in Dallas, where she now works as a Content Director for a local communications ministry. She has several loves in no particular order... big dogs coffee on a slow Saturday morning traveling spending time with loved ones reading YA paranormal romance white water rafting writing faith-based fiction laughing until she cries taking pictures of sunsets spending ALL THE TIME AND ADVENTURES with her new hubby
