Based in Southern California, Kristin Mulligan writes stories that blur the line between heart-pounding suspense and heartwarming romance.

Her novella series, Holidays & Homicide, twists familiar holidays into dark, suspenseful tales. The series includes I’ll Be Alone for Christmas and A Christmas to Die For, two chilling Christmas stories steeped in secrets, mystery, and murder. Crazy Little Thing Called Love, is set around Valentine’s Day and explores obsession, terror, and a kidnapping that will keep readers guessing until the very end. The next installment, Sweet Child Of Mine, is her newest release. It’s a Mother’s Day nightmare about a woman forced to botch a patient’s surgery to get her daughter back. Each title stands alone and can be read in any order.

Her two romance novels are open-door and full of steam and spice. The Acts Of Life features sibling rivalry, secrets, and a jaw-dropping twist, while Grounded delivers laugh-out-loud moments, emotional depth, and a swoony touch of forbidden love.

Fueled by a genre-hopping imagination and far too much cold brew, Kristin is also an exhausted boy mom to the fastest five-year-old you’ll ever meet. She works full-time, and when she’s not chasing her son around, she’s stealing quiet moments to catch her breath and write a few more words.
