Nature has always been a source of inspiration for Kris, with its many expressions of beauty—the sun, moon, clouds, trees, and rivers all holding their unique charm. But for Kris, rainbows are a marvel beyond compare—a portal where magic and reality blend in vibrant harmony. The rainbow, with its seven enchanting colors hidden within everyday light, became the perfect starting point for her writing journey, symbolizing the magic she believes is real and ever-present.

As a mother of two energetic boys, Kris understands that the most effective lessons are those wrapped in joy and play. She passionately uses storytelling—a medium that flows naturally from her—to weave tales that entertain, teach, inspire, and delight.

Kris's love for stories began in southern India, where she grew up immersed in the poetic words of her father and the melodic songs of her mother. Now living in Henderson, Nevada, with her loving husband and two wonderful sons, Kris continues to cherish her roots, her passion for reading and writing, and the close bond she shares with her sisters.
