Kirsten Weiss

Kristen Weiss is an American author who is well-known for her genre-blending cozy mysteries, supernatural suspense, and steampunk novels. Her writing is known for its originality and the vivid worlds she creates, which are filled with a sense of fun and enchantment. Some of her most popular series include the Pie Town and Riga Hayworth series of books.

Weiss has had a varied and interesting career, which has informed her writing in many ways. She has worked abroad and overseas for a period of fourteen years, spending time in war zones in Afghanistan and on the fringes of what used to be the U.S.S.R. These experiences have given her a unique insight into life in other parts of the world, as well as a deeper understanding of the darker side of humanity.

Weiss currently resides in a house in the Colorado woods, where she writes her laugh-out-loud, page-turning mysteries. Her heroines are smart and strong, and although they are not perfect, they struggle and ultimately succeed. Weiss enjoys the solitude of her mountain home, but occasionally ventures out for wine and chocolate or visits the local pie shop. She is best known for her cozy and witch mystery novels. Weiss also enjoys connecting with her readers and can be followed on various social media platforms or by signing up for her newsletter.
