About Kirsten West
Hi! If you were wishing to know more about Kirsten West but didn’t know who to ask, you are in luck!
I am an author of adventure, fantasy, science fiction, and psychological thrillers for adults and youth. I tell stories of triumph over evil where the magic is never spoken aloud, but lies beneath to peek out now and again when it is truly needed.
I am getting on in age and have a rather short attention span which led me through varied and sundry careers including but sadly not limited to a scientist, a biophysicist, a groveling graduate student, a market research analyst, a scuba instructor and divemaster, a volunteer aquarium docent, and a serial star-up sales and marketing flunky.
I live with my ever-patient husband and devoted pup in a 110 year old California bungalow neatly held down through the occaisional earthquake by thousands upon thousands of books. Besides the obligatory hobby of fixing bits of falling down house, my leisure time includes taming a wild, native garden, completing projects as a marketing consultant, walking the aforementioned pup, and slowly knitting blankets and scarves for my children.
You can find my books on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and many other outlets. I also authored an algebra curriculum that is found at DoodlesDoAlgebra.com.

5 Things I Love:
- Coffee (for breakfast, lunch, and as close to dinner as humanly possible)
- Chocolate (anything but white)
- Walks with my pup before I settle down to write.
- Afternoons with my husband in the yard clipping, pruning, pulling weeds, and generally striving for that cute and cosy bungalow garden that exists only in my imagination.
- Reading. Anything. (I am not as bad as my son who used to read till his flashlight ran out of battery power.)
