Gnome & UnGnome Facts About Kristen:
Kristen (she/her) writes picture books and middle-grade novels, sometimes alone, sometimes with other people.
Her childhood was filled with reading poetry about things like bedsheets, peas, and lakes in Ireland, so now that she’s grown up she feels totally qualified to be editing children’s poetry anthologies.
She co-edited The Writers’ Loft’s Friends & Anemones and An Assortment of Animals, she is co-editing Gnomes & Ungnomes with her friend Audrey Day-Williams.
Kristen loves the outdoors and first saw dryads playing hide ‘n’ seek in the woods near her house in Massachusetts where she lives with her family.
She founded and runs Little Book Locker which gives books to kids who don’t have easy access to their own books.
Miss Rita, Mystery Reader which she co-wrote with her nephew Sam Donovan was published by FSG/MacMillan in the spring of ‘22 and earned excellent reviews, including one starred review.
