Life and work

Christofferson grew up in Chicago, but spent time every summer with her family in Yellowstone National Park. She continued this tradition with her own children; her son is currently a ranger at the park. Several of her thrillers are set in Yellowstone.
After earning her B.S. from the University of Utah, Christofferson went on to study veterinary medicine before switching to law school. Before writing full-time, she also worked as an attorney in the biotechnology industry, an experience that has informed her fiction.
In addition to writing novels, Christofferson has contributed articles to the Yellowstone Discovery, a quarterly published by the Yellowstone Association.
