Kris Radish

Kris Radish is the award-winning and bestselling author of fiction and nonfiction works that celebrate optimism, hope, friendship, and empowerment. She has also been involved in magazine feature writing and poetry and her storage shed is full of magazine and newspaper clippings, some of which go back forty years. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin from which she graduated with a journalism degree but baffled everyone when she decided to move back home almost immediately. Over the next four decades, she had a whirlwind of experiences from which she now finds inspirations to write her novels. She also traveled as a journalist and has been all over the globe covering all manner of stories from murder, politics court trials, natural disasters, state fairs, and even baton twirling competitions. During her demanding, always exciting, live, and often humorous career in journalism, she was assaulted, stalked and shot at, and threatened with everything from rocks to machine guns. She also rappelled down a mountain cliff, drank a ton of beer, hung out the side of a helicopter, almost drowned in the Colorado River, flew an airplane, and went to Bosnia during the war in the Balkans.
