CASE FILE
NO. 001
The Origin Story
Like many writers, Krysten Bennett has wanted to be an author ever since she learned how to hold a pencil and had something solid to write on. As a child, she was a powerhouse journalist, editor, photographer, and graphic designer for a number of made-up publications; author of fantasy adventures featuring anthropomorphic animals; and investigator of imaginary backyard crimes that involved the use of walkie talkies confiscated from her little brother.
Unconvinced she would be able to afford important commodities like food and impractical shoes, however, Krysten pursued a degree in journalism, with a minor in English and psychology, from the prestigious Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University.
The Day Job (And Night Job)
Since then, Krysten has become something of a unicorn among creatives: a writer who can also design, and a designer who can also write. By day, she is a one-woman communications department at a state association. By night and every other free minute, she is a writer, digital marketer, advertiser, designer, publisher, and whatever else a self-published author needs to be.
Why Now
In 2021, following the death of two close family members, Krysten realized that life is too short to put off something she’s dreamed about my entire life. Her debut novel Anonymous Source (which she had literally been working on since high school!) was finally published Jan. 1, 2022. Since then, she’s published her follow-up novel and is preparing to release her third, all of which are part of the Breaking News Mystery Series.
