Christy Hardin Smith was born and raised in Williamstown, West Virginia. She attended Smith College, in Northampton, Massachusetts, for her B.A.; the University of Pennsylvania, where she worked on a Masters Degree; and the College of Law at West Virginia University. She has her own law firm with another attorney in Fairmont, West Virginia -- Folickman & Smith, PLLC. Christy is happily married to her husband Bill, and shares her home with two ornery dachshunds, Tasha and PJ, and a ginger tabby named Henry. She is currently working on a fantasy/science fiction novel tentatively titled An Ill Wind Blows, which will be Part One of her Kinsale Saga. Christy has been writing fiction and poetry since she was knee high to a grasshopper, and will continue to hold a pen until her aging hands force her to get a talk and type program for her computer. Since that day seems far away at this stage, Christy plans on writing for a long while, and may hopefully claim one day soon to have been published in something other than an academic/ professional journal.
