K.L. Walther is a young adult author who was born and raised in the rolling hills of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She spent her childhood surrounded by family, dogs, and books. Growing up, she was an avid ice hockey player, traveling the northeastern seaboard for games. Walther's love for hockey, romantic comedies, and Taylor Swift inspired her writing and shaped her unique voice.
Walther attended a boarding school in New Jersey and went on to earn a B.A. in English from the University of Virginia. It was during her time at the University of Virginia that she discovered her passion for writing. She fell in love with the craft and completed the first version of What Happens After Midnight, her third young adult novel. Her books are filled with humor, heart, and a Swiftie scavenger hunt, reflecting her personality and interests.
Walther is at her happiest on the beach with a book, cheering for the New York Rangers, or enjoying a rom-com while digging into a big bowl of popcorn and M&Ms. Her love for reading, sports, and movies is evident in her writing, as she creates relatable and engaging characters and storylines that resonate with readers. While she may be found on Instagram @klwalther9 or on her website klwalther.com, her writing stands on its own and invites readers to join her in the worlds she creates.
