Kristin was in a jet ski accident when she was 14 years old, killing her friend and nearly killing her. She ended up paralyzed and was told she would be nothing more than a vegetable for the rest of her life. She turned her story into one of happiness and positivity by publishing 3 books, one of which is being turned into a tv show. Kristin will discuss the adversity she has had to overcome at such a young age and how she has truly embraced living with a disability.

Kristin Beale Bio:
My name is Kristin, and I’m a published author and illustrator from Virginia. I’ve completed 14 marathons, I’m a nationally-competing wheelchair fencer, and I work for Morgan James Publishing as a literary scout. I truly love my work, and I’m excited to share with you.
At age fourteen, Kristin Beale was enjoying a happy summer vacation when a Jet-Ski accident turned her life upside-down—and nearly ended it. Ever since then, she has had to struggle to overcome not only the physical but the psychological toll of her injuries—and her grit and courage have been an inspiration to countless people.
In Greater Things, Kristin offers a raw perspective on everything from how people react to her, to learning how to navigate in and through an inaccessible world, to just trying to make the best of a crummy situation.
My book is also available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, & Borders.
