Until her freshmen year at Northwest High School, when Principle Linda Parker recognized the leadership capabilities Kristen possessed, and asked her to organize the first Black History month program for the school district.

James Valentine, CFA, started his career as an equity research analyst, where the major North American investor polls ranked him among the top three in his sector for ten consecutive years and Forbes identified him, as one of the top three among all 2,000 U.S. sell-side analysts. At the height of his career as an analyst, he was asked to take on a newly-created role as Director of Training for Morgan Stanley’s Global Research department. After implementing a new global training program for 500 analysts and associates, he realized far too many buy-side and sell-side analysts were approaching this profession without a strategy, which held them back from generating alpha. To remedy this, he began his independent effort by writing the top-selling book Best Practices for Equity Research Analysts and then founded AnalystSolutions, to help all analysts and prospective analysts improve their stock picking and receive greater recognition for those calls.

As the daughter of author Louis L’Amour, I grew up in the household of a prolific writer where storytelling was a way of life. I began writing for personal enjoyment as a child and went to college to pursue a history degree.

Published by Bantam Doubleday Dell in 1988, A Trail of Memories spent 16 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was also a Publisher’s Weekly bestseller. After a detour through the film industry, I returned to my roots to write novels for the Young Adult market, spending time under the tutelage of Craig Virden, then head of Random House Books for Young Readers, perfecting my craft. As a cancer survivor, I now dedicate substantial time to advocacy and awareness efforts and recently published Chemo, Cupcakes and Carpools: How to Go through Chemo with Your Family, Your Marriage and Your Sanity Intact, and the companion organizer. After creating and teaching a Creative Writing program for students from 8-80, I recognized that I have a passion and a unique ability to help others bring their stories to life.
