K.C Tansley lives with her warrior lapdog, Emerson, and three quirky golden retrievers on a hill somewhere in Connecticut. She tends to believe in the unbelievables—spells, ghosts, time travel—and writes about them. 

Never one to say no to a road trip, she’s climbed the Great Wall twice, hopped on the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, and danced the night away in the dunes of Cape Hatteras. 

She loves the ocean and hates the sun, which makes for interesting beach days. 

The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts is her debut YA time-travel murder mystery novel.

As Kourtney Heintz, she also writes award winning cross-genre fiction for adults. Her debut novel, The Six Train to Wisconsin, was published in May 2013 and was a 2014 Readers' Favorite Award Winner and a 2013 USA Best Book Awards Finalist.
