Kristen Cipriano is small business owner from Texas who has helped people in her coaching & healing programs since 2019. In 2024, she decided she was finally ready to realize her lifelong dream of becoming an author.

Her inspiration for The Queen Rises came from her experience being in a gaslighting abusive relationship, healing from that trauma, moving out of victimhood, and becoming empowered in her life.

She is married to her soulmate, Ralph, who’s unconditional love & healthy masculine qualities have also helped Kristen heal.

Kristen has also extensively studied trauma, early childhood development, the subconscious mind, manifestation, and spiritual healing.

Elements of The Queen Rises come from her own struggles with mental health, toxic masculinity and femininity, and what it looks like to find a healthy balance between the two.

She’s written stories since she could hold a pencil and dreams of becoming a full time author. This is her debut novel, and she’s already started outlining the second book in The Queen Rises series.
