Kristina Riggle lives in West Michigan. Her debut novel, Real Life & Liars, was praised by Publishers Weekly for its humorous and humane storytelling and by Booklist as a moving and accomplished first novel. Kristina was a full-time newspaper reporter for seven years before turning her attention to creative writing and freelancing. As well as writing, she enjoys reading, yoga, dabbling in (very) amateur musical theatre, and spending lots of time with her family.
