BA Crisp’s life is a montage of adversity and triumph. Her grandfather was an electrical subcontractor at two major U.S. nuclear reactor testing sites. His influence instilled in her a deep love for science and the supernatural.
Consequently, the county disapproved of her grandfather’s atheism and love of scotch. This led to her becoming a ward of the court and a foster child.
Relocated to remote Ohio farm, she found solace in literature and the vibrant cardinals that frequented the woodlands. She barely made it through high school and endured a tumultuous period filled with menial jobs and blunder wonders. Yet, destiny had a different plan.
A chance encounter with a friend of her grandfather, at a strip club, set her on a new path. He saw potential in Crisp and encouraged her to pursue higher education. Crisp initially snubbed the man’s suggestion but he proved relentless. After years of pissing and moaning, she graduated Summa cum laude from Ursuline College (and everyone, including herself, was surprised). She earned a co-valedictorian distinction at George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management (even more unexpected and astonishing). Her academic endeavors didn’t stop there. She honed her writing skills at the London School of Journalism, and at Oxford University’s Exeter College.
Ultimately, B.A. Crisp emerged as a distinguished writer. Her notable works include the best-selling novel Red Bird and the acclaimed Quanta Chronicles Trilogy. Her latest literary offering is Loosen Your Lotus. Parallel to her writing career, she forged a path in strategic intelligence, working alongside private contractors in national security. When not immersed in her writing, Crisp embarks on secret or misadventures (mostly in her mind).
