Crystal Braeuner is a lifelong resident of Knoxville, Tennessee. She is an occasional writer and a full-time teacher of English and Theatre at Gibbs High School. Crystal shares her home with her wonderful husband, Curt, and her two amazing children, Ben (5) and Talia (3). She has stepped on more plastic toys than she cares to admit, but the kids are cute, so it’s all good. Crystal loves coffee, memoirs, classic movies, comedy-horror, vintage clothing, fuzzy socks, punk rock, inner child-healing in the form of Animal Crossing and WWE, and critters of all kinds.
