She then dropped out of college, and then she worked as a baker, a potter, and a bookseller.

Kristen Siccarelli is now the number one New York Times bestselling author of a book that wasn't supposed to be big until it was.

That book is Heartless Hunter, a God-tier, romantic-y book for me that I have not stopped thinking about since the day that I read it.

And today, we are diving into everything about the book.

Kristen, welcome to Off the Shelf.

Thank you.

It is a pleasure to be here.

Thank you for coming in.

Now, before we get into things, I recently found this out, and I would love for you to share a little bit more insight into how you meeting your husband correlates with a scene in Rebel Witch, because I'm so intrigued.

Which again, we are not endorsing, but it does make an incredible scene in fiction.

I love that.

Now, I want to go back to the beginning to what I imagine was like your early writing days.

How did you end up with your dad's old laptop?

And like, what kind of stories were you writing at that point?

Now, I also understand that you would like share stories with your classmates when you were in school during school projects.

Were those stories like also kind of into elves or other things?

Now, did you think at that point you were like, I could be an author or did you have another career in mind?

Now, you've also mentioned that like growing up, you didn't have a lot of books in your house.

Has that changed now?

Do you have a lot of books in your house?
