Kristina Stephenson is a British author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular her series Sir Charlie Stinky Socks published by Egmont Publishing and the Molly Maybe series, published by Simon & Schuster.

Career

After school Kristina Stephenson trained as a set and costume designer at the Central School of Art and Design. She worked for many years as a designer, writer and producer in the theatre and television, specialising in young children's programming for BBC and Channel 4, until she had her children. Wanting to stay at home with them she turned her hand to illustration. Inspired to write her first picture book by her son Charlie, she showed it to a friend in the book trade and that is how she became an author.

Kristina is very active in terms of school events and regularly appears at author and literary events.

Personal life

Kristina lives in Wiltshire with her husband, who is a musician, her daughter, her son, a dog, two cats and a tortoise. She juggles work with family life in a busy, bustling house. She writes in an old turquoise VW camper van called BRU.
