Born and raised in the
South, Kristina now lives with her husband and two
daughters just north of New York City. The daughter
of a Federal agent, Kristina and her family moved
quite often, but she counts Orlando, FL, Atlanta,
GA, Fort Walton Beach, FL, and Slidell, LA among her
‘home towns.’ An avid ballet dancer for
many years, she managed a brief career with a professional
company, then switched gears and graduated with honors
from the University of Southern Mississippi with a
degree in History. She worked several years as a non-profit
grant writer in some of New York City’s top
cultural institutions before quitting to do graduate
work in History at Columbia University. After the
birth of her second child in 2001, she decided to
finally write that novel she'd always wanted to write.
The rest, as they say,
is history. In addition to reading and writing romance,
she divides her time between the kids’ activities
and the ballet studio. Her debut novel, Unlaced,
was published in Nov. 2004 by Zebra Books, followed
by Unveiled in May 2005.
"...touching
and tender, with just enough pathos-tinged humor to
win our hearts."
