Kristen Alger

Kristen Alger is an award-winning writer, author, and storyteller with a passion for discovering and preserving the stories that connect us. Her writing explores both the humor found in everyday experiences and the remarkable moments hidden within history.

She is the author of "So, It Happened Like This," a collection of true and humorous stories drawn from her own life, and "Letters of a Traveling Architect," a work of narrative nonfiction that brings to life architect Levi Geniesse’s extraordinary 1925 journey across Europe through his letters, photographs, and journals.

Kristen’s love of storytelling began with a fascination for the people behind the stories—their struggles, adventures, faith, dreams, and discoveries. Although she lives in Pensacola, Florida, her Wisconsin family connections inspired the research behind Letters of a Traveling Architect. She enjoys exploring archives, visiting historic places, and sharing the stories that might otherwise be forgotten.
