Kristi R. Bradbury

https://kristirbradbury.com/about/

Kristi R. (Rohdy) Bradbury grew up enjoying road trips across the USA with her family. She shared stories of her adventures with her own children, and, for a decade, she talked about writing them into books. The pandemic of 2020, with the need to stay at home, finally provided her the opportunity! Publishing her first book, To Iowa in the Back Seat, is an accomplishment that fills her with a joy that she hopes will be imparted to readers of all ages. Kristi has worked in Special Education for 20 years. She is the proud mom of five children and grandma of nine. She and her husband, Bill, live in Los Angeles.
