Hey there! I’m Kristine

I’m an entrepreneur, international best-selling & award-winning author, and speaker

But wait, there’s more! Like you, I’m a lot of things. I’m a wife, mom, gram, dog mom, personal development junkie, pizza connoisseur, and dreamer. I’m known for crafting stories that resonate across genres and generations, and I’m just getting started!

In addition to my writing pursuits, I’m also an accomplished speaker. I graduated with honors from the School of Hard Knocks, and I love to share my well-earned wisdom, especially with teenage girls and women. Authenticity, zest, and commitment are just a few things that I can bring to your next event. Tap here to learn more.

AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

It’s so important to keep learning, evolving, and creating. Actually, I fancy myself an “authorpreneur.” As much as I love to write, I have many passions. Some future endeavors include, a women’s retreat, starting a non-profit, and launching my next children’s book. Super-Duper Seal of Approval is currently being illustrated! We can’t have Good Boy, Nacho! sitting all alone on the bookshelf, now can we? Be sure to check out Kid’s Corner while you’re here. It’s chock-full of fun activities for the kids.

IF I AM SUPPOSED TO BE STICKING TO ONE GENRE, I HAVE FAILED MISERABLY

My current labor of love? That would be a project that my husband and I are collaborating on. It is a collection of 101 short stories written and told by members of Generation X. While collecting these “gnarly” stories; I was presented with an opportunity to be part of a co-authored book which became the  #1 international best-selling best-seller, Dear Younger Self. This book is special. Thirty people from all over the world, sharing their inspirational stories of love, perseverance, loss, and resilience. In my chapter, Little Miss Independent, I share how I was living in a “Perpetual Pity Party,” until I decided to take 100% responsibility for my life. Big Changes Start Small is the FREE guide that was born from my chapter. In it, I share the three simple steps that I took to change my story, and I want to do the same for you!

STUDIOKNM

In 2003, I founded studioknm. It represents everything that I love and pursue. Authorpreneur, remember? House flipping and real estate investment, photography, writing, speaking, and interior design. When I’m not writing, creating, or daydreaming, you can find me being inspired behind my camera, in the pool, traveling the world, volunteering, hiking the trails, working in my flower beds, and eating pizza – lots and lots of pizza!

Grateful for you,

Kristine
