If it's fine, Kris gardens. If it's wet, she writes. And if the writing's going well, the garden can look after itself...
She's just launched 'Her Man with Iceberg Eyes' - a novel set in the alpine resort of Queenstown, way in the south of New Zealand. It's the first of her Heartland Heroines series.
She has recently joined with friends Diana Fraser, Shirley Wine and Serenity Woods to present a short-term boxed set of four contemporary New Zealand romances for only 99 cents. It's called 'Passion in Paradise'. Grab yours before the end of May.
Kris writes sizzling contemporary romances, and is the current membership secretary for Romance Writers of New Zealand. Her books are generally set at least partly in the capital city of Wellington so she can make use of the beautiful harbour in the plots. This is her "Wicked in Wellington" series.
Kris has written all her life - from her autobiography at twelve, to her own special wedding service, to short stories published in mass-circulation magazines and broadcast on National Radio in New Zealand. She has a background as an advertising copywriter and decor specialist.
During the past eight years she's produced a selection of racy romantic novels, and publishing them on Amazon.com has been the ideal way to share them with the world.
She hopes you enjoy reading the titles so far available, and assures you there are more to follow.
