Kristen Britain
Kristen Britain is the author of
Green Rider and
First Rider's Call.
She grew up in the
Finger Lakes region of
New York State, where she started her first novel - an undersea fantasy featuring herself and her friends - at the age of nine.
She published her first book, a cartoon collection called
Horses and Horsepeople, at the age of thirteen.
After completing her degree in film production at
Ithaca College in
1987 she made the logical (?!) leap from cinema to the
National Park Service.
Her many years as a park ranger enabled her to work in a variety of natural and historical settings,
from 300 feet below the surface of the Earth to 13,000 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 a log cabin in Maine where she writes full time and pursues interests reading, guitar playing, and cartoon illustration, supervised by two cats and a dog.
She enjoys exploring the magical places around her and can often be found paddling a canoe in stillwater, ambling through the woods to mountain summits, or sitting along the rocky shore listening, watching, and daydreaming. This is her fantasy, at least.
