Kristy Tussing

Kristy is an Arizona resident and mother of three cute little humans and one furry dog named Wolfy.  When she isn’t writing detective books for children, she buys, sells, and renovates homes with her husband.  Her detective series was inspired by a book she wrote in 8th grade.  Kristy’s mom held onto that story, believing it would be published one day.  Kristy hopes to inspire young readers to explore their creative side through her artsy and educational stories.

“Colorful crayons and mystery solving unite in this kaleidoscopic debut by Tussing, who originally wrote the book when she was in 8th grade.”

“Picture book readers who enjoy stories of intrigue and discovery will find the action-packed Detective Stan the Crayon Man and the Missing Birthday Cake both fun and appealing.”
