Kristina’s stories revolve around found family, epic magic, and overcoming the darkest times in one’s life to step into the light.
Growing up, her passions were dancing and riding her horse but when a vehicle vs pedestrian accident put her in a wheelchair, she found solace in writing. Between lifelong damage from the accident and autoimmune diseases she has struggled with pain and physical disabilities most of her life.
Through it all her found family―those that have stood by her through the darkest times when all hope was lost―became one of the foundation blocks of her life. For that reason many of her books focus on those themes: found family and finding a way through tragedy, loss, and hardship.
A gamer-girl, she met her husband playing World of Warcraft. They have three children, three dogs and a cat. Their family lives south of Dallas, in a home filled with books, Legos, and board games.
She is the author of the In Blood and Fire Series. Her books include: From the Ashes, A Burning Ember, The Flame Within, The Conflagration, The World Ablaze, and The In Blood and Fire Companion and Short Story Collection.
