April Christofferson is an American novelist of environmental and political thrillers, including Trapped, Alpha Female and Buffalo Medicine.[1]

Background[edit]

Christofferson grew up in Chicago,[2] and frequently spent summers around Yellowstone National Park as a child. She continued this tradition with her own children.[3] Several of her thrillers are set in Yellowstone.[4]

After earning her Bachelor of Science from the University of Utah, Christofferson went on to study veterinary medicine before attending the Gonzaga University School of Law.[2] She received her Juris Doctor from Gonzaga in 1983.[5] Before writing full-time, she also worked as an attorney in the biotechnology industry, an experience that has informed her fiction.[6]

In addition to writing novels, Christofferson has contributed articles to the Yellowstone Discovery, a quarterly published by the Yellowstone Association.[7]
