I am a southern belle at heart with a crazy streak that desperately tries to escape at every opportunity. I love all things nostalgic, rustic, and quirky. I've been told I see the world through rose-colored glasses, but I prefer to think of them as kaleidoscope glasses - swirling and morphing reality into something I can digest (who hasn't pretended those pasty lima beans were really kiwi strawberry jelly beans?).

I am the author of the DAUGHTERS OF THE SEA series, which includes FORSAKEN, AWAKEN, CHOSEN, HEARKEN, PROVEN (2014).I love all books, but really enjoy writing young adult, paranormal romances. I've loved to write for as long as I can remember. My first published work was my poem RED in second grade (you guessed it - it was a poem

Who moved my heroine?

I write about heroism.  I write about strength and characters who are willing to give up everything for what they believe in.  I write about characters who grow from the ashes of pain and rise above it to make a difference.  But often we don’t feel as if we can do that in our real lives.  I think about the person I was twenty years ago – when I had no other option but to be strong and passiona Read more of this blog post »

“There was no time for chit-chat when there were chocolate chip pancakes to be eaten.”
Kristen Day, Forsaken

“I make you nervous,” he whispered. It wasn’t a question, but a statement. The smirk on his face told me he knew it was true. - Finn (Forsaken)”
Kristen Day

“I'm seriously beginning to worry about you guys," Willow sighed from the arm chair and looked up from her laptop with discord, "Being asked out in the middle of a hurricane is not romantic. It's totally reckless and irresponsible."
"And totally hot," added Carmen.”
Kristen Day, Forsaken

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Unfortunately those eyes - his eyes - never fade. They’ve haunted my dreams for years.” - Hannah (Forsaken)”

“I don't care if you wear a muu muu or a tutu, you'll still be beautiful."
"That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me," I joked with him. "And you get extra points for making it rhyme.”

message 13: by Kristen

Kristen Day Once upon a time there was an author who lived in a big white castle up on a big white mountain top. She wanted to scream out her BIG announcement to world below!! ...but she couldn't. An evil witch named Kristenia demanded she wait a fortnight. If she failed to keep the secret she would be turned into a volkswagon bug! So she settled into her big white castle on the big white mountain top with a big mug of hot white chocolate topped with big white marshmallows and decided to re-read every paranormal romance ever written. The fortnight came and went as she stood at her balcony, lifted her arms, and proclaimed.......! And she lived happily ever after. The End.

L Dear Kristen,
I would like to thank you so much for being my friend here on GoodReads, which is a fantastic site where one is able to converse with so many likeminded people including readers and writers, authors and book bloggers. I am a huge fan of JK Rowling, Stephanie Meyer's, Lauren Kate and many other authors whom you admire as well as loving YA and fantasy fiction. I hence look forward to many interesting future book discussions with you.
Kind Regards
