Chasing her dream into college, she received a degree in English at Texas Tech University and fell in love with writing faith-forward sweet romance and romantic suspense about characters with big dreams, adventurous spirits, and enduring hope. Kariss is a diehard Texan and makes her home in Dallas with her husband and three little kiddos.
