K. D. Garcia writes stories about teenagers and believes the lives of young adults are filled with possibilities. She lives in the Chicagoland area with a typically tolerant husband, usually wonderful children, and mostly well-behaved dogs. She is an active member of the Windy City Chapter of Romance Writers of America. She is represented by Terrie Wolf at AKA Literary Management.

She went to college long enough to earn the title doctor, not the type that sees patients, the type that studies things. She is passionate about science, education, reading, writing, and the ability of all people, no matter their background, to bring joy to the lives of others. She believes that good stories come from bad experiences, and the best come when people triumph over adversity.
