Adrienne Christin lives in North Carolina with her family. She has always loved animals and has a few pets of her own, but no axolotls. The idea for the Axolotl Agency series came to her when she noticed her daughter's magazine lying on the kitchen table that happened to feature an axolotl. She immediately started planning out the first book and the series was born! She enjoys working with her family on this book series and looks forward to many more books to come. When not writing, she enjoys being creative in other ways and playing games with her children.
