Author of True Grit Tales
Kirsten’s journey to be a writer began after reading James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl at age seven. While working as a trained counselor and educator, she published non-fictional articles for several online magazines. Yet, Kirsten always yearned to publish fiction.
Then her right hand went numb, which prompted being given a diagnosis of MS in 1999. More challenges arose as spinal surgery ignited her MS and the need for a scooter to get around became a reality.
TRUE GRIT TALES offers another reading experience, because much fiction is written with disabled characters by authors who are not disabled themselves. Anyone can become disabled, even animals. It is merely making modifications in this world we live in. So, there can be a need for “grit” to combat able-istic attitudes. Disability is just another form of being, within the harmony of all life.
