Krista Ritchie

Krista Ritchie is an American romance novelist best known for co-authoring contemporary and new adult series with her sister, Becca Ritchie. Their work often explores addiction, fame, family, and intimate relationships, especially in the Addicted, Calloway Sisters, and Like Us series. Together, they are New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors.

Biografie & Werdegang des Autors

Krista Ritchie’s writing life is inseparable from that of her identical twin and coauthor, Becca, but her own contours are clear. She grew up in Peachtree City, Georgia, began telling stories in childhood after Becca started first, and by college the sisters were already collaborating seriously. In interviews, Krista has described herself as the more analytical half of the partnership, with Becca supplying a more expansive imaginative energy. That pairing helps explain the balance in their books between emotional intensity and structural sprawl. Ritchie has also identified herself as a science nerd with a biology degree, a longtime tennis player, and a cat owner with a kitten named Frodo Baggins.
