Why I Write
I write novels about friendships, crushes, hope, love, dealing with self-doubt, & finding where you belong. I like to think I’m just working through issues via my characters to help my readers work through theirs. The bumps along the road gave me a lot of material. One thing I would like to show is how we focus so much on what we’re lacking that we lose sight of what makes us special & what we have to offer. It’s so easy to get caught up in the comparison game, but we're all created for a purpose. I hope that through my books I show we all have something special to offer the world & we should highlight that instead of trying to make up for what we feel we lack. The main thing has always been about helping others feel less alone in what they're feeling & going through & giving them hope. |

"I loved the way the author has created such a strong and unique character in Cecily. Her feelings of low self-esteem and the development of the relationship with Andrew are real and heart-warming. There are some hysterically funny moments in the story too. A wonderful and captivating teenage love story.”—Readers’ Favorite
“It's a story full of teenage angst, coming of age, first love, jealousy, hopes and dreams, anxieties and insecurities, friendships, relationships, learning self love and following your dreams!” Dash Fan Book Reviews
"While I enjoyed the romance, I loved that Can Dreams Come True also managed to address the importance of staying true to yourself, doing what you love and pursuing your dreams. "- Sincerely Karen Jo blog
I believe that teenage girls searching for "chick lit" that appeals to their age will find these stories fun and relatable. Clean young adult books are often hard to come by, but this author has done it and done it well!...Krysten has a definite flair for telling romantic tales in a style that resonates with the heart and soul of the readers." - Media from the Heart
"I love this book because, it is so well written that you feel all of the deep emotions Cecily experiences in wanting to be understood and accepted for who she is, and her deep connection to her crush through his music. His music expresses clearly how she feels; her loneliness, sadness of being rejected, and it draws her to him. As a teenager, music touched my soul to the core, and I felt so connected to the musician. Krysten captures this exact feeling beautifully and to perfection . If you love music, and have experienced the joy of being connected to your favorite artist THIS is the book for you! If you have been that teenager longing for that need to be understood you too will find this book captivating. It's exquisitely written, lovable lead characters and an easy fun read!" --Amazon review (Can Dreams Come True)
