Kristin was born in September 1960 in Southern California and grew up at the beach, and moved to Washington State at the age of eight.
After working in a trendy advertising agency, Kristin decided to go to law school. When she was in my third-and final-year of law school and her mother was in the hospital, facing the end of her long battle with cancer. For the next few months, Kristin and her mother collaborated on the worst, most clichéd historical romance ever written.
After after her death, Kristin packed up all those bits and pieces of paper they had collected and put them in a box in the back of my closet. She got married and continued practicing law.
She then found out she was pregnant, and was on bed rest for five months. Her husband reminded her of the book she had started with her mom. She pulled out the boxes of research material, dusted them off and began writing. By the time her son was born, she had finished a first draft and found an obsession.
Now, Kristin is a major bestselling novelist. She continues to live in the Washington state with her family.
