Tragically born with a miscalibrated sense of humor, Krystal Claxton lived in nine US states before the age of thirteen. The combination of the two has left her with an oscillating accent and a habit of laughing at things that aren't funny. She currently lives in Georgia with her long-suffering spouse, a dog who thinks she's a cat, and a number of children that is subject to change.She enjoys breaking Heinlein's Rules, getting distracted by Dragon Con, and feverishly researching whichever random topic has just piqued her interest.
