Kristina’s stories revolve around found family, epic magic, and overcoming the darkest times in one’s life to step into the light. Between lifelong damage from a car accident and autoimmune diseases she has struggled with pain and physical disabilities most of her life. Through it all her found family―those that have stood by her through the darkest times when all hope was lost―became one of the foundation blocks of her life. For that reason many of her books focus on those themes: found family and finding a way through tragedy, loss, and hardship.
