About Kivrin

Kivrin Wilson writes about fictional people in first person point-of-view, so she thinks it only makes sense to write about herself in third person.

Kivrin learned as a teenager that she liked writing and that she liked romance novels. She first tried her hand at penning one of them herself in her early twenties, and then she tried for a while to get published by a traditional publisher (as was the norm back then), but when that didn't work out, she spent the next decade or so dithering around (though that's not quite the word she would use) before finally getting her act together enough to finish another manuscript, which turned into her first indie published book, Bend.

Kivrin is a mother, wife, unabashed cat lady, avid reader, TV binge watcher, proud introvert, an occasional potter, and a passably good cook. She enjoys exercising forces herself to run on her treadmill (while watching TV) because it allows her to eat chocolate. Kivrin grew up in Norway, but she's lived most of her adult life in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she currently shares a roof with her amazing husband, their amazing daughter, and two grumpy old male cats.

...writes novels in a language that is not her native tongue?

...would read just about any genre of fiction as long as it has compelling characters?

...would be happiest living on a beach and snorkeling every day?

...will die on the hill that Colin firth is the only acceptable mr. darcy?

Kivrin Writes  Because...

After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.

Philip Pullman

Stories are the only way we can slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another's skin, another's voice, another's soul.

Joyce Carol Oates

Fiction is the truth inside the lie.

Stephen King
