Kirstin Merrihew
Kirstin is a native Californian with a degree in economics and experience in financial fields. But literary pursuits are much preferred and indeed constitute a lifelong love, leading among other things, to a library too large for the home shelves and covering a jumble of subjects. She also writes reviews on amazon.com as “K. M.”
