Kirstin loves tea, books, Swedish fish, and Goldfish crackers. (All four together = bliss.) She studied at Berkeley and Harvard and taught preschool, high school, and college English. She now runs a tutoring center and enjoys getting paid to give her students advice on their love lives (oh, and also to teach them stuff). She's the mother of three: a son who talks about Legos, a daughter full of stories about her stuffed lamb (and Lambie is not the quiet, meek sort), and a baby who makes sure he is heard. She also has a husband who has a lot to say about robots. And a dog who barks and barks. There wasn't a lot of talking space left, so she started writing.
