Kristi Helvig is a Ph.D. clinical psychologist turned sci-fi/fantasy author. Her first novel, BURN OUT, which Kirkus Reviews
called "a scorching series opener not to be missed," follows 17-year-old Tora Reynolds, one of Earth's last survivors, when our sun burns out early. In the sequel, STRANGE SKIES, Tora makes it to a new planet only to discover a whole new host of problems--and the same people who still want her dead. Kristi muses about Star Trek, space monkeys, and other assorted topics on her blog at www.kristihelvig.com and Twitter (@KristiHelvig). You can also find her on Facebook. Kristi resides in sunny Colorado with her hubby, two kiddos, and behaviorally-challenged dogs.
