About Author Kristen N. Bailey


    I dreamed of writing novels when I was little and still love
    story telling. My school published a one of my short stories
    when I was in the fourth grade, and I realized other people
    might like to read what I wrote. I saved up and bought my
    own typewriter and soon was tapping out books over
    summer break. I have several books out and I work as an
    editor and full time writer.

    I began writing romance and now I'm gravitating toward
    women's fiction, which includes romance and also other
    issues central to women's lives today. I'm currently looking
    for an agent for my women's fiction novel and also
    submitting a romance to publishers.

    I live in the beautiful Umpqua Valley in Central Oregon. I set
    all my books here because I love it so much. We enjoy
    camping, cycling, and trips to places throughout our region
    including the coast and mountains. The kid in me loves
    celebrations of any kind and exploring in the forest.

    This fish picture shows one of the many reasons I love living
    here! (Summer steelhead caught in early fall) My love of
    fishing extended into my writing world - I'm on staff along
    with Lem James to edit Kype Magazine, a great resource
    about salmon, trout and steelhead fishing.

    Story telling runs in my family and my mother has two
    books out now. You can visit her website at
