About

Kristen Illarmo is a young adult science fiction and fantasy author fascinated by the impact of our decisions on potential futures. Her storytelling thrives on complex family dynamics set against the backdrop of decaying societies.

When she’s not writing, she can be found looking for the peacock in her quirky New Orleans neighborhood with her tiny, giant-eared dog.
