edit data

Kirsten is a foodie and has been ever since she formed her first loaf of mud bread in the backyard at age seven. She wrote her first novel shortly thereafter, a shameless copy Anne of Green Gables. With time, she abandoned the mud and plagiarism and learned to work with real dough and original ideas.

She dreams of running an island inn someday, complete with a vintage library, crumpets and cocoa on the veranda, and fragrant linens on all the beds. In the meantime, she is happily landlocked in Kansas with her husband and four sons, all of whom are required to tea party with her. She does enough laundry to compete with any island inn and enjoys writing and baking in her precious moments of free time.

Kirsten Hobbs liked a quote “Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end submit with ever fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.” C.S. Lewis
