Kristie Booker

As a native of rural Illinois, Kristie Booker has a deep affection for small towns. Although she has called Chicago home for more than twenty years, her heart remains tied to her roots. Through her writing, Kristie reconnects with the essence of her small-town upbringing, crafting captivating stories that capture the spirit and charm of of these beloved communities.

When Kristie is not lost in a book or typing her own tales, you'll find her indulging in her passion for cooking and nurturing her small city garden. Planting flowers, herbs, and vegetables brings her joy, and she often finds that her stories seem to take root alongside them, transforming her modest yard into an oasis of creativity and growth.

As a mother of two nearly adult sons, a lazy labradoodle, and a wife to a wonderfully supportive husband, family is at the heart of everything Kristie does.
