I am a YA author of eight books: Benched, Living Rough, On Cue and Room 555 are part of the Orca Currents Series. Cutter Boy, Dead to Me, Epic Fail and Locked Up are part of the SideStreets Series with Lorimer Publishing. I also write poetry and host a literary open mic at my local art gallery. I am a retired teacher of elementary and middle school and love hiking in the mountains and walking along the beach. Please visit: cristywatsonauthor.wordpress.com.
