KIERSTEN MICHELE is an author and bookworm who spends her mornings, evenings, weekends, and in-between times reading. She grew up on mysteries, fantasies, historical fictions, and any other story that would take her on an adventure. Her love of reading turned into a love of writing, and she took that love to college and...got a PhD in counseling psychology. Plot twist. But when she's not writing extremely fascinating academic articles, she's creating stories to take her on more adventures.The Mage War Chronicles is her first (fiction) publication.When not tucked into her reading chair, she's out adventuring in the real world, climbing rocks, hiking rocks, and taking way too many photos of rocks.
