About the Author

First, the professional bio Kristen James has ranked in the top 100 Bestsellers in Kindle US and Canada, #1 in eight different categories, and #1 in Movers & Shakers and free rankings. She writes women fiction, romance and romantic suspense.

And now, the other stuff I was born in a tiny town in western Oregon and lived there until after my high school graduation. I discovered writing in the 4th grade. My school published one of my short stories, and I realized other people might like to read what I wrote. I saved up and bought my own typewriter, and soon I was tapping out books over summer break. I wrote several practice novels and I continued writing though the next ten years.

I started a family, moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, back to Portland, Oregon and several other towns before landing in the country in Western Oregon where I started out. Ive also been around the western half of the US, parts of Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica.
