An Interview With Author Kristen Puma
Kristen Puma and her family have lived in the neighborhood for more than six years. Initially a hobby, writing has evolved into Kristen's career, allowing her to shape worlds and express herself. We hope you enjoy learning more about Kristen in this interview!
Is writing your profession or a hobby?
Writing, I suppose you could say, is a little of both. I started writing when I was about 10 years old. I immediately fell in love with this form of self-expression and crafting worlds vastly different from my own. I used to say that I would never pursue writing as a career as I didn’t want to take my joy away from it. However, now, as a mom, I can’t help but turn my hobby into a career and share my wonderful stories and that joy with others.
Tell us why you wrote this book.
I’ve been developing children’s books for a few years now. I wrote this book specifically because I wanted to create a story that displays family unity, provides wholesome life lessons, and encourages families to transform the mundane task of getting ready for bed into an adventure they can all enjoy.
What is the title of your book?
Abby and Liam and the Bedtime Adventure
What is the story about?
Abby and Liam and the Bedtime Adventure is more than just a wholesome story. It's an invitation to young readers to unleash their creativity, embrace their curiosity, and discover the world around them through the power of imagination. It's a celebration of the bond between siblings, the joy of adventure, and the magic of childhood. Specifically, Abby and Liam just don’t want to go to bed. With the help of their parents, the family takes the tedious task of getting ready for bed and transforms it into an imaginary adventure that leaves the children excited for tomorrow’s captivating escapades.
What methods did you use to conduct research for this book?
No research was needed, but I will say that all of my inspiration came from my own family.
Can any age read this book?
Abby and Liam and the Bedtime Adventure is the perfect bedtime story for parents/guardians to curl up and read with their little ones before bed.
Where can this book be purchased?
You can purchase Abby and Liam and the Bedtime Adventure online at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
Have you written other books?
I have written many children’s books, and they are now in the process of being published! Stay tuned for more from me and the next installment of the Abby and Liam Series!
