About JK'S ZOO TALES
JK'S ZOO TALES has been writing and telling stories since childhood. Perhaps it was inevitable that they would call grappling with words and language a career—and love every moment of it. They are privileged to share their work with a large and welcoming audience.
Krystal has been writing stories since she was a little girl. She would come up with ideas of the adventures her stuffed animals would have, the imaginative homes her Barbies would live in, or a conversation about two strangers having to share a room in a hospital. During her senior year of high school, she began writing her first novel, and her teachers were so engrossed in her story that when she deviated from the book, they were distraught and wanted to know more about the story.
Jason has been caring for and helping kids since childhood. When he was a youth, three boys were throwing rocks at a girl, so he stood between them and the girl and took the stones in her place, stepping in to speak with the boys and show them what they were doing was wrong. The event of the boys throwing rocks and him standing between them put him on a path to be there for kids and help the young boys and girls with their struggles; later, meeting that girl in life when she was eighteen and speaking to her about what he had done in the past and how it changed her life, not remembering her and talking to him and seeing the change also changed him. Since then, Jason has counseled and been there for kids ministerially for the past twenty-two-plus years.
Jason and Krystal are lifelong animal enthusiasts who have learned about many animals near and far through the years. Through those years, Jason and Krystal would go to different zoos across the United States, developing a love for animals. When they started going to zoos on the weekends and field trips with their oldest child, they would ask probing questions to the zoo keepers, getting to know the animals at the zoos more personally. They have continually spent years teaching their children the joy and love for animals and life, even in their backyard.
​
Their love and heart for kids of all ages is their purpose and backbone of why he and his wife write their children's books.
