Krys Batts grew up in Houston, Texas and has always been passionate about writing. While enrolled at Spelman College as an English major, she took a variety of creative writing courses to refine her skills, benefiting greatly from the guidance of instructors who were also published authors.  After graduating from Spelman College, Krys earned a master degree in Public Affairs from the University of Texas at Dallas while continuing to write short stories, poetry, and music in her spare time.  In 2003, she published her first romance novel, Walls Fall Down, which was reissued in 2015. She then went on to write a variety of novels in different genres: two mysteries, What's Done in the Dark (2014) and Bad Blood (2024); a second romance, Not Flowers, but Love (2015); and a contempary women's fiction novel, Where Do I Enter (2022).

Krys has lived in Dallas, Texas, for over twenty years and is the proud parent of three canine furballs. When not spending time with them, she enjoys reading, practicing yoga, taking long walks, and enjoying time with family and friends.
