K.L. Barnes

K.L. (Kristi) Barnes is the author of the newly released Maeve Tidewell - Pay Series published exclusively with Amazon. She grew up in the mountains of western Colorado where the icy snows and frigid winds sent her fleeing to the Arizona desert at the first opportunity. She lives now in the dry Phoenix heat with her two dogs, Jasmine and Dmitri, along with a pond full of Koi.

Kristi loves to travel, spend time with her daughters and friends, and she would not consider starting her day without a rousing round of meditation.

Her love of books - and (we assume) a lot of time on her hands while living back home in western Colorado - led to the creation of the thrilling and suspenseful series that her readers are swearing has made them fans for life.

Her main interests are friendships and wine! But seriously, she practices daily meditation, hoping to become a better person, and contribute something good to the world.
