Khristin Wierman was born and raised in a small East Texas town—which means she came into this world a Dallas Cowboys fan and ardently believes “y’all” is a legitimate pronoun. Some things she really likes are playing golf with her husband and stepson, poker, yoga, chocolate, the Golden State Warriors, the Oakland A’s, and the daily adventure of life with an adorably imperfect cat named Rocco. She lives in Oakland, California.
