Katelin Maloney

Katelin Maloney is the pen name of Kristin Paul — a domestic violence survivor, award-winning author, and passionate advocate who believes some truths can only be told through story.

Her debut novel, Drowning, was praised as “a groundbreaking novel” by Patricia Evans and described as a book that “speaks to many, many women” by domestic violence advocate Denise Brown.

A dedicated volunteer and speaker on domestic and dating violence and the psychology of abuse, Kristin also writes nonfiction under her real name, including Freeing Yourself Financially: A Woman's Guide to Rebuilding Her Finances After Divorce, a practical guide for survivors rebuilding their financial lives.

Through both fiction and nonfiction, she writes about resilience, recovery, and reclaiming personal power.
