K.B. Condi

Kris was born in Thatcher, Arizona, a small town in Southeast Arizona that grew from cotton farming and copper mining. It is also the town with the best Dairy Queen in the nation. No one really knows why. It’s just better there.

When she was six weeks’ old, Kris attended her father’s boot camp graduation and began life as a military brat. Her father was still on active duty when Kris left to attend college at University of California, Los Angeles. Following in her father’s footsteps, Kris attended college on a Naval ROTC scholarship. After graduating, Kris spent several years as a surface warfare officer before being accepted to the Navy’s Law Education Program. Under that program, the Navy sent Kris to law school at the University of Chicago, where she once memorably corrected her professor, the future President Obama, when he called military uniforms “costumes.” 

After law school, Kris had a successful career in the Naval JAG Corps which culminated in her serving as the military assistant, or chief of staff, for the General Counsel of the Department of Defense. 

During her time practicing law, Kris was a successful appellate attorney. Every good appellate brief tells a good story, with some law thrown in. No longer able to practice law due to illness, Kris decided to turn her story-writing talents to writing fiction novels with no law thrown in. Or maybe just a little. "The Quest for Harmony" is her first novel. 

When not writing, Kris enjoys baking and traveling. She is a fan of science-fiction and fantasy movies and books because they are so much more entertaining than reality.
