Kristen Van Nest is the acclaimed author of the comedic travel memoir "Where to Nest" and a viral comedian whose sharp wit and global adventures inform her work. Growing up in the Connecticut suburb where "The Stepford Wives" was filmed, she witnessed firsthand the pressures of domestic conformity—a perspective further sharpened when her high-school homecoming king married a top #tradwife farm-living influencer, both experiences fueling the dark domestic suspense of "Perfect Modern Wife." With a career spanning New York City marketing, a Fulbright Scholarship in Luxembourg, and years working in the wine industry in China, Van Nest brings an unputdownable twist and laugh-out-loud characters to every psychological thriller she writes.
