Bio

Kristina Sternesky (me!) is a graduate of William Paterson University and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. I live in New Jersey and have over a decade of experience in government communication.

My passion for writing started when I was seven years old. I wrote and bound my first story (which I still have to this day on my bookshelf), and it continues to be my source of inspiration. Since then, I have written a little bit of everything—poems, short stories, novellas, novels—and touched upon many different genres as I tried to find my voice. In all my stories I aim to capture the issues we all face but highlight them in extraordinary circumstances.

My outside interests include Renaissance Festivals, Dungeons & Dragons, reading anything I can get my hands on, and exploring the possibilities the world has to offer with my daughter.
