About

Growing up in a family that had a passion for writing and drawing, Kirsten was influenced by generation after generation of writers and artists. She has shared these passions since childhood, but did not self-publish her first book, REARRANGED, until her late twenties. She was moved to share her work after going through loss, grief and healing. In writing and illustrating, she experienced grace and light after loss. REARRANGED was the winner of Indies Today’s 2022  Best Poetry Award. Her second book, I Love You From Heaven, is about angel children in Heaven, and offers beautiful healing to families navigating the loss of a pregnancy/child. Kirsten continues to illustrate and write more children’s books, and chooses topics that are dear to her heart. When not writing, Kirsten can be found spending time with her husband and two children. She is active in the pursuit to find wholeness and soaking up as much family time as she can, whether that be at their family cabins or snuggled up with a blanket and a good book at home with her kids. She believes in sharing hope for others who may be struggling, and has a captivating vulnerability to her work.
