Fruge, K: Written in Purple

Kristen Fruge always dreamed of becoming an author. Kristen grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and has lived in Louisiana for most of her life. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications from McNeese State University, and is a part-time freelance editor, and a high school English teacher at a local private, Christian school. Kristen briefly stepped away from both Louisiana and teaching to explore career options in Conroe, Texas. It was there that the first edition of her debut novel, Written in Purple, was published. Kristen and her husband, Jacob, recently moved back to Southwest Louisiana. They reside in Sulphur, Louisiana, with their four children and two dogs. Kristen loves spending time with her children, writing, teaching English, and spending time at the beach when she can. She is an avid reader and enjoys a variety of genres, but science fiction and dystopian are her favorite genres to read and write.
