Author Bio
B. A. Crisp is a writer, research analyst, and strategist. Her career spans from psychiatric assessment specialist for a major metropolitan hospital, to adviser with the Department of Homeland Security’s Science & Technology Directorate, where she contributed to anti-human-trafficking research. Additionally, she collaborated as a private sector consultant with Homeland Security Investigations on anti-human trafficking outreach and with Illicit Gangs and Finance. In 2015, she was nominated for the Homeland Security Director’s Service Award, recognized by both the White House and Congress for her work combating human trafficking and for co-founding COAST (Club Operators Against Sex Trafficking).
Crisp is also a bestselling author, known for The Quanta Chronicles trilogy (Red Bird, X Point, and Emergent) and the nonfiction titles: Loosen Your Lotus, How to Hug a Ghost, and A Cosmic Conspiracy: Quantum Physics, Consciousness and Secrets of the Universe—a 2025 Amazon Top New Release in Science Essays and Commentary. Robert T Bigelow added her books to the Bigelow Institute of Consciousness Library and her conversations with him remain some of her favorites. She’s also shared riveting discourse with the likes of Dr. Harry Kloor, Sci-Fi author Mike Stackpole, Aerospace and energy wizard Dr. Kam Ghaffarian, and other outstanding visionaries too dignified to name here.
When she's crafting a work in progress, Crisp typically stares at walls, curses more than Anthony Bourdain ever did, and talks to imaginary friends. Moreover, she enjoys covert misadventures, which, she assures, are mostly in her mind. She requests that both the CIA and the NSA not take her internet research history too seriously. Similarly, Crisp writes like Albert Einstein moonlighting as a mystic—equal parts quantum mechanics, consciousness, and chaos theory, with just enough caffeine to bend spacetime. And if Sigmund Freud, Nikola Tesla, and Forest Gump ever had a love child, her name would probably be B.A. Crisp.
