For fourteen years I fought international crime as a Customs Officer in both England and New Zealand, before leaving to work in the family antique store. I'm now a full time author living in New Zealand with my family. I alternate between writing time travel trilogies and polishing my next thriller. My spare time is spent organising author events and appearing on, or MC'ing, literary panels at various festivals around the world. I'm also the cofounder of a boutique publishing house, and a serial volunteer.You can sign up for my sporadic newsletter at: https://www.kirstenmckenzie.com/newsletter/You can also find me on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Pinterest.
