“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all the lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
– Haldir
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Hello, my name is Kristine. I am embracing the art of storytelling as a fresh start to my life and working on my first novel. Writing is an incredibly rewarding experience, but it’s not without its challenges. It requires patience, dedication, and an openness to growth. I wish I had started this journey years ago, but I’m still grateful for what it has taught me about creativity and resilience.
As a devoted dog mom, my days are filled with the joyful companionship of my furry children. Fall has always been my favorite season. The air turns crisp, the trees shift into warm shades of amber and gold, and everything just feels a little cozier. Mornings usually mean coffee, something simple for breakfast, and maybe an old episode of The Golden Girls or The Office playing in the background.
