Bio:
Kristen Lester (1992-present) was born in Richlands, Virginia and grew up in the small town of Hurley, Virginia.

At age 18 she left Hurley to attend Radford University in Radford, Virginia where she currently resides. The Doubled Gate series is her first series. In the past she has had poems and short stories published in magazines with her recent poem "There Is Something At My Window" published in Sanitarium Magazine.









Five Fun Facts:
I once ran into a Long John Silvers with a fake mustache, rang the bell furiously and yelled, “WHERES THE CAPTAIN AT”, then ran out
I hate horse masks and anything with an animal head and human body…it terrifies me
When I was about 7 my cousin bought me a Barbie beach house but told me it was coal. I believed her and when I opened the present I was actually pretty ticked it wasn’t coal and confronted her about it. 
I have a slight southern accent that I’ve learned to hide, however when I get really upset or excited it comes out in full swing so I sound like a cowgirl Scarlet O’Hara for a brief period. 
In high school we were voting for Homecoming queen and I didn’t like anyone on the ballad so I wrote down “Ozzy Osbourne” and put a check beside his name. I coaxed at least about 4 others to do it too.
