| Introduction | I am an adventure-seeking, Bible-believing middle school Pre-AP English teacher, Student Council and NJHS sponsor, and YA author who loves teenagers, reading books, writing YA fiction, discussing YA fiction, singing (onstage and off), laughing (at and with my husband and students), and cuddling with my Yorkies, Elphaba and Luna. I lead a busy and (self-proclaimed) wonderfully interesting life down in Texas! My YA fantasy series, PHANTOM ISLAND, will be re-released and continued through Tate Publishing in late 2011! See www.krissidallas.com for more information! |
| Interests | I am a YA writer and reader, in addition to being a teacher, Student Council and NJHS sponsor, youth minister, worship team vocalist, wife, and proud Yorkie mom. |
| Favorite movies | How does one choose favorites? Harry Potter movies, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Twilight series, (are you seeing a pattern here?), Shrek movies, High School Musical movies (cheesy, I know, but I love it!)-- I tend to love movies with characters and sequels in which I become emotionally invested. |
| Favorite music | I like music in all genres, but I tend to be selective of certain songs. It's a rare and beautiful thing when I find a band who I completely love no matter what they produce. What am I currently listening to? Anything in pop culture right now ... to name a few -- Secondhand Serenade, Nickelback, Paramore, Linkin Park ... Christian Alternative artists that rock my iPod -- Skillet, Red, David Crowder, Tenth Avenue North, Mercy Me, Casting Crowns ... |
| Favorite books | So many great books, but the ones that never get old ... Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, Tangerine by Edward Bloor, The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien, Little Women by Lousia May Alcott, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, Beastly by Alex Flinn, I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You series by Ally Carter, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, Mediator Series by Meg Cabot, The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren, Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman Crazy Love by Francis Chan (life-changing! highly recommend!) |
