Kristine was educated in Veterinary medicine, then spent 10 years in that field until one day, with her arm up a cow's ass, it dawned on her - in the way that astonishing things dawn, with bright flashes of light, a sweeping theme and credits for a Key Grip and Gaffer - that people really did get paid to do other things.
Now she writes, cuts rocks for pleasure, and spends maybe just a little too much time playing video games she justifies as novel "research".
