About Kiersten Hall
Kiersten Hall is a 12-year speaker/presenter, 27-year comedienne-in-hiding, 30-year entrepreneur, 34-year salesperson, lifelong ‘wanderlust.’ In 2020, she will become an ’empty-nester’ after 27 years of children in the house and is already planning her escape via several literary events, designed to keep her busy (and out of trouble.)
Notice the same number of years for both the in-house children and the comedic outlook on life. Coincidence?
To date, Kiersten has four published books with another five ‘in the works’ for 2020/21. Much like her varied interests, she tends to write about whatever piques her curiosity, giving her the ability to share her stories with all ages, across several different genres.

CORNER CONFESSIONS
A NOVEL
Genre: Women’s Contemporary Fiction / Short Stories
Everyone has that one secret… that one skeleton in their closet… which will never see the light of day. No psychiatrist, priest, spouse, or best friend will ever hear this secret, yet the urge to share this information can be found in most people’s natural psyche… People want to share their experience with others… They want to tell someone their deep, dark secret. Although this secret rides on the subconscious – scratching at the surface to be revealed, it’s most often too embarrassing, or horrifying, or scandalous…What better way to get that secret off the mind, and out of the closet than to tell someone who is a complete stranger? Someone who will not judge what has been said, and what has been done? This method is safe, anonymous, and there is no accountability or judgment – and if there is, the keeper of the secret can simply walk away. Meet fourteen individuals who have decided to clean at least one skeleton out of their closet by confiding in a complete stranger whom they meet at a local coffee shop. Unassuming and safe with no judgments passed, learn about these secrets first hand, as if you were a fly on the wall listening in during their confession. Everyone has a secret. What’s yours?
