Award-winning author Kierstin Marquet’s Mason Jar Series, was inspired by crazy experiences growing up as a police officer’s daughter like: getting pulled over with lights (thankfully no siren) in the church parking lot, and going to process crime scenes in her nightgown. Kierstin admits she was too young to understand why she got to sleep in the back of the first Mobile Crime Lab in the state of Utah while her dad processed crime scenes, but a love of sleuthing was born through interactions with him.
She graduated Cum Laude from Weber State University with a bachelor's of science in criminal justice and a minor in psychology. She worked in law enforcement but left crime fighting to her husband, a federal law enforcement officer when they started a family.
Kierstin considers herself married to the most wonderful man that ever lived and their children take after their dad in “awesomeness”. Her husband's career required overseas assignments so she has a lot of experience creatively stuffing things into boxes—some people call it packing. Once overseas, they had fun seeking out strange new places to explore, new cultures to investigate, and places to get lost in. Kierstin has visited thirteen countries, and lived in Germany and the Middle East. She and her family are excited to go to more exotic places in the coming years. When she's not hovering over the keyboard (working or falling asleep, sometimes it's hard to tell which) she also loves hanging out with her family, target shooting, Nerf gun or laser tag battles with her family, hiking, camping, traveling, scrapbooking, sign language, and book research. That’s right, research! (Her husband says there’s probably a medication for that.)
Kierstin won 1st Place in the Suspense category at the LDStorymaker's First Chapter Contest and then Soul Mate Publishing offered a contract on her debut novel, Three Reluctant Promises. SMP also snatched up the sequel, Three Stupid Lies sight-unseen.
Her favorite genres are: clean romantic suspense, fantasy, and YA.
