Kristen DaRay is a coffee-loving, k-drama-binging author who loves to tell stories and create characters. Armed with a pen, she is a master wordsmith who focuses on every narrative's emotional ride. Her influences include Lois Lowry, Rick Riordan, Christopher Paolini, and Stephanie Meyer. She also is inspired by movies and shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Criminal Minds, Supernatural, and anything in the Marvel or Star Wars universe. But her obsession with k-dramas compelled her to write the Beautifully Disguised series. When Kristen is not writing, you will find her playing the Sims or dreaming about her next Disney vacation. She and her husband spend their evenings with their two boys, playing with legos or enjoying a video game before reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians as a family at bedtime.
