Kinzie Balfour is author of the Hearts Crossed Romance Series. She has been writing stories since she held that first chubby pencil tightly in her fist. Much to the embarrassment of her family, her stories no longer include ponies and rainbows, but sassy women and naked men. Her humorous, personal essays have appeared in the “Cup of Comfort” series and in the Christian Science Monitor. When not writing, or thinking up new story lines, Kinzie is a marketing consultant for small businesses who resides in her empty Northern California nest with the best husband in the world.
