• The Power of the Christian Fiction Genre

  • Book Buzz on The Revisionary

    Even though The Revisionary released in 2017, it remains increasingly relevant to our times. After all, living in 2020 has somewhat felt like living in a dystopian novel (where anything that can go wrong probably will go wrong). That said, my desire in writing The Revisionary and the other two books in the trilogy was to show hope through dark circumstances. Specifically, my characters find that hope by rediscovering America’s heritage. I want my readers to walk away feeling inspired to press on and do what’s right even if they’re swimming against the popular current. I’m honored to share an excerpt from this latest book review. For more details and…

  • Fall in Love with YA Fiction

    Happy first day of October! I’m pinching myself over here, because Florida actually feels like fall right now. This morning was in the 60s! Northern friends, just humor me here. That’s a big deal for Florida. What better time of year to “fall” in love with fiction? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun!) I’m excited to share that my young adult dystopian trilogy, The Rogues, is on sale from October 1 through 5 for only $.99 on Kindle! The Rogues trilogy blends suspense, science fiction, and American history into a saga that offers hope through a rediscovery of heritage. One reader said: “I’ve read my fair share of dystopian fiction, Christian…

  • The Rogues Trilogy Book Sale! Christmas in July Keeps Getting Better.

    Christmas in July keeps getting better! Earlier this week, I shared about the multi-author giveaway I’m taking part in. Now, I’m excited to announce that my entire Rogues trilogy is on sale for $.99 each on Kindle. Maybe I’m guilty of overusing the word excited, but go ahead, just ask my husband how excited I get about deals. After our last visit to Khols and my semi-gloating on the 80% markdowns I’d snagged, James laughed and said, “You’re practically making money!” Thank you. My point exactly. Well, I’m not making money on this sale, and that’s fine by me. As an author and avid reader, I enjoy finding book deals…

  • The Revisionary Gets Featured on Grace Filled Fiction Spotlight, Spring 2020

    I’m excited to share that The Revisionary was selected for the Grace Filled Fiction Spotlight this spring! Enjoy this interview about how my dystopian fiction remains relevant for today and what else I have in the works. Q:  What is your latest release/release you chose to spotlight, and what would you like us to know about it? What take away? If its theme is pertinent to the time of year or a holiday that’s coming up, mention that.   Kristen:  THE REVISIONARY presents the theme of finding hope for tomorrow, a timely message given the uncertainty so many are facing today. My heroine Portia sets out to save her brother from a…

  • The Revolutionary: Coming March 2018

    If you’ve started a reading list for 2018, I hope you’ll add The Revolutionary! Mark your calendars: The sequel to The Revisionary is scheduled to release March 20 through Write Integrity Press, and today, I’m excited to share the cover with you. Special thanks to my graphic artist Kelli Sorg (Make it Snappy) for another job well done! Portia’s story continues much differently than she had imagined. There’s no hero’s rescue for her or easy solutions to save the Brotherhood’s threadbare rebellion. The Revolutionary demands an honest look at: The source of one’s true identity The struggle of guilt The crippling effects of fear The power of second chances Summary REVOLUTIONS RUN…
