ⓘ About Vanessa King

She spent two years picking the peelings up of the best in the NYC burlesque scene and still has the glitter in her pumps to prove it. Much of her professional life has been spent in aquatics, where she taught swim lessons and lifeguarded for far more years than most would probably be comfortable with admitting. This was punctuated with a year teaching high school English. She was not good, however at least she got a bunch of student debt out of it. Vanessa, when she’s not writing, enjoys reading, working out before dawn, wielding a glue gun with unearned confidence, championing her favorite audiobooks, and admission free hours at Barton Springs. And the privilege of selecting her form of suffering with her fellow meat heads at Crossfit.
