About the author

A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Kristen Bobst grew up a tomboy with two brothers, several unruly pets, and an overactive imagination. After surviving four years of Gossip Girl-style antics at a ritzy private high school, Kristen went on to the University of Florida (Go Gators!). Due to an uncanny Oscar Wilde obsession, she then traveled to Dublin to study Anglo-Irish Literature at Trinity College. While overseas, she spent much time staying in seedy hostels and carousing with the locals. To this day, Kristen cannot convert Fahrenheit to Celsius without the use of a scientific calculator. Kristen recently completed the University of Southern California's MFA program in Screenwriting. She still has an overactive imagination and several unruly pets. Emily McGregor is the V.P. of Production at Comediva. Emily was that token girl in a vast sea of pimply-faced techno-geeks in her high school AV club. Now, she develops content for the interwebs and directs webisodes and stuff (psst, she directed The Divas and Guy Time). She also made that thing you just read; that thing right above this thing you're reading now. She hopes you liked it. If not, don't leave a comment. If you did, send her flowers and whiskey. Comediva. Where the funny girls are.
