K.R. Reese was born and raised in Ohio. Her love for reading started at an early age, and stuck as she grew older. It wasn't until high school that she became obsessed with her many ideas and began writing them down. Though she had a knack for writing, she didn't publish any of her work until 2016 which started her Wilson Creek Series. Since then, she's released another series, as well as many standalone books.

She still resides in Ohio with her husband, their four children, and the crazy family dog. When she isn't writing, she's spending time with her family, capturing many memories with her camera, or exploring her musical interests. She lives on iced coffee, is a concert junkie, and never stops working.
