About Kristen Illarmo

I write young adult science fiction and fantasy that explores how our current decisions may impact future generations. My storytelling thrives on complex family dynamics set against the backdrop of decaying societies. My influences include Marie Lu, Suzanne Collins, Ransom Riggs, Neil Gaiman, and Douglas Adams.

When I'm not writing, you may find me looking for the peacock in my quirky New Orleans neighborhood with my tiny, giant-eared dog.
