At just 10 years old, she found a major passion for storytelling, and has been writing ever since. When she's not losing herself in another realm (via Video Games, TV, Comics, Movies, and the like), binge-watching Netflix or scouring the net for more geeky t-shirts, Krys enjoys reading a variety of genres. Her first published work came out in March of 2015.
