ABOUT KRIS
Kris is a thirty-something mom with
two kids who lives far, far away from
civilization, which means she has plenty
of quiet nights (and days) to write. She
is a movie addict, can bake a mean
muffin, and loves reading historical
romance - though she'd never try to
write one.
For four years, she worked hard to
become published and finally found
success. She's currently busy writing a
few other stories. Visit her website for
the latest info on her writing!
INTERVIEW
Q: Which of your books is your
favorite?
A: I suppose I could be nostalgic and
choose my very first book which was
contracted...but I think I need to dig a
little deeper. There is a novella I
wrote called The Opal Hunter. This was
one of those books that just grabbed my
attention and wouldn't let go until I'd
finished it. But it was also one of
those books that bounced around from
publisher to publisher. Yes, I did get
offered a couple of contracts on it, but
I wanted a publisher who had as much
enthusiasm for the story as I did.
Almost 9 months after I wrote it, I
finally found the right home for it.
Q: Where do your story ideas come
from?
A: I'm actually a pretty down-to-earth
person. I don't have 'voices' talking to
me or directing my writing. I don't hear
conversations in my head...at least, not
all that often! So for me, story ideas
come from really mundane places. Like
coming across an intriguing movie title
in Netflix, or reading some 'news of the
weird' story, or maybe even while
watching TV. Usually by the time I get
to writing the story, I can't really
remember where that kernel of an idea
came from in the first place.
Q: What other creative outlets do
you have besides writing?
A: I love to bake. I also do love to
cook, but not with the same love as
baking. Cookies, muffins, pies! Every
year at Christmas I try to pick at least
one new cookie recipe to try out. And I
can't wait for Thanksgiving so I can
make a couple different pies.
Q: Boxer or briefs?
A: Boxer-briefs, of course. They give
the coverage, but also give a nice view
of the backside.
