About Kindra
In fourth grade, Kindra won her first writing award. But not really, because she lost her book in her desk before it could go on to the next round of judging. Her teacher was mad enough to throw a chalkboard eraser. And she did.
Later, Kindra’s college professor tried to talk her into a writing major. Kindra thought, “Nah. What would I do with that anyway?” So, she stuck to the highly-marketable art major.
Since it really wasn’t all that marketable, she became a teacher—kindergarten through eighth grade. The early and middle grades were her favorites. Spoiler alert: That’s who she writes for now. And it feels like home.
How she began to write is a story in itself. Maybe one day she’ll tell it in its fullness. Here’s her short version:
Deep in the woods of northern Michigan, a voice spoke.
“Write for Me. Children’s Bible stories: Simple Truths.”
She tried to reason those words out of existence. But couldn’t. So, she added a Seminary writing certificate to her teaching degree. And accepted some invitations to preach.
She went on to dry up a lot of pens and crumple up a lot of paper. And she quit a lot. Today, Kindra is a published author in the dawn of her writing life for both children and adults.
