Writing

Her debut novel, Letters from Home was based on her grandparents' wartime courtship. The book was declared a must-read by Woman's Day magazine and achieved additional acclaim as a Reader's Digest Select Editions feature, a Doubleday/Literary Guild selection, and a 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards semifinalist for Best Historical Fiction.

Her second novel, Bridge of Scarlet Leaves, was named a 2013 nominee for the RITA Award. The novella, “The Christmas Collector,” appeared in the New York Times and USA Today anthology A Winter Wonderland.

Named one of Portland's "40 Under 40" by The Business Journal, Kristina lives with her husband and two sons in the Pacific Northwest. The Pieces We Keep, released in December 2013, is her third novel.
