Like most adults, I was once a teenager. However, I never outgrew it--literally. Standing at a daunting 4'11", I decided to write to my height peer group. Everyone knows that teenagers have more fun. Turns out writing for teenagers is more entertaining, too.
Born and raised in Utah, I was lucky enough to marry a native San Diegan and be adopted into the fish taco and beach culture. A stay-at-home mom and full-time writer (if you count scraping in whatever hours I can after my kids go to bed as full-time), I live with my wonderful husband and two adorable children in San Diego, CA. I'm currently twenty-six, but that's bound to change next year.
Desperate for entertainment, I started writing shortly after having my first baby and haven't stopped since. Publishing with HarperTeen is quite literally a dream come true, and I can't get over how fortunate I am to be paid for doing what I love.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy blogging and reading anything I can get my hands on. Yeah, I probably need to branch out a bit in my hobbies.
I'm a total twit-wit. Which you can take either to mean I'm witty on Twitter, or that I'm a nitwit for spending so much time there. Either works. Find me at www.twitter.com/kierstenwhite and be a twit-wit with me.
I substitute actual adult conversation with blogging. You should check it out; the blog is updated daily.
