Your Age: 46 Basic bio: Kristen Mei Chase is a writer and author based in the Philly suburbs. Her debut novel, A Thousand Miles to Graceland, will be published in January 2023. Beyond the bio: I never thought I’d be the person who’d count down the hours until I can sit in my bathtub full of melatonin Epsom salts and watch reality dating shows but here I am. Unapologetically, I might add. It’s amazing how the little things, like the right mug for my coffee, can make me so happy.
