🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Kristy McCaffrey
She also had an overwhelming compulsion to put stories on paper and still has several boxes of diaries in which she wrote her stories. Kristy probably got her passion for reading from her mother who was a voracious reader. During her teenage years, she used to snatch all manner of novels from her nightstand even though she had a preference for fantasy and science fiction. Some of the authors she read during this time include Roger Zelazny, Ann McCaffrey, Piers Anthony, and Marion Zimmer Bradley. She also fell in love with “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen and was fascinated by the turns and twists of “Wuthering Heights.” But it was not until she was a married woman that she started reading romances.
