Kristen
Bays
Kristen Bays is a Twenty-something University graduate (IE: survivor) who hails from Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. She began performing at the age of 5 for church and school concerts and was a member of the Texas Girls Choir from the ages of 10 to 15. With the TGC she was lucky enough to travel the world on 2 separate overseas performance tours, visiting over 10 different countries across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. She began acting in 7th grade with Act One Children's Theater in Grapevine, TX and Onstage Theater in Bedford, TX, as well as participating in the theater program in her high School. She performed in such plays as Pinocchio, Kilroy Was Here, Fiddler on the Roof, South Pacific, and Hello Dolly.
While attending Stephen F Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX, Kristen studied History, Spanish, Linguistics, and Art. Now out of school, she has hopes of finding a job as a historian and is dreading the thought of Grad school. She splits her time between her 9 to 5 office job, her ever growing addiction to comic books, incessant doodling in sketchbooks, and constructing mid-Victorian dress reproductions for 19th Century living history reenactments.
Kristen can be found on live journal at The Geek Queen’s Journal where examples of her pitiful attempts at fan fiction, her decent attempts at fan art, and her fan girlish attempts at comic book reviews can be found.
