Kristen Booth's purple baby jelly was hosed off her in the fine state of Ohio. After being well educated in the Zanesville Public School System and at Kent State University, she fled the heartland and landed on the hot New York City asphalt in the summer of 1997: Kristen had dancing shoes in one hand and a writing pen in the other. The prior comprised the first five years of her life in the City while the latter was always a quiet mistress (New York provides enough fodder for late night journal entries, for sure). After a few spells of devotion and devastation, those journal words fought for the spotlight and won. Kristen published her first book of poetry titled Shine On in 2004 after winning the contract at a poetry convention with over 3,000 participants from all over the world. Since then she has written a biography based on the life of her grandfather, countless articles, blogs and marketing copy and she is currently fine-tuning a dirt-filled novel that has all the sorts of storylines voracious readers crave. Be careful what you wish for... /Puggle In Pajamas/ will be Kristen's first major "in-stores" publication and she feels it is so good that you can pour maple syrup on it and eat it! Not literally, but you should get used to seeing Pete, "'Cause you're gonna be buying Band-Aids and lunch boxes for your kids with him on it!"
