Inspired by family, and passionate about storytelling, Kristen found her calling as a writer and left her previous gig in the sometimes glamorous, sometimes grueling, world of event marketing. 

Kristen writes about romance, mysteries, family, food, and other adventures. Her first novel Red Ochre Falls was described as, “A good combination of romantic entanglement and shrewd investigation,” with a “laudable protagonist,” (Kirkus Reviews). She has tested recipes for culinary magazines, and contributed to online news outlets, parenting publications, Killer Nashville Magazine, KissMet Quarterly, and was previously a finalist for the Rocky Mountain Chapter of Mystery Writers of America Six-Word Mystery Contest. 

Kristen is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and the Short Mystery Fiction Society. A former expat, she resides in Michigan with her husband and children where she’s at work on her next story.
