Kristen Britain grew
up in the Finger Lake region of New York State and published her first book, a
cartoon collection called Horses and Horsepeople, at the age of thirteen. After graduating from Ithaca
College with a degree in film production, travel beckoned and she began a
career as a ranger with the National Park Service. This enabled her to work in
a variety of natural and historical settings, from three hundred feet below the
surface of the Earth to thirteen thousand feet above sea level on the
Continental Divide; and from the textile mills of the American Industrial
Revolution to the homes of Americans who changed the course of history. Currently
she lives in an adobe house in the high desert of New Mexico among the
hummingbirds and lizards. |
