About

I’m Kyina Routt, a Christian romance author, entrepreneur, and storyteller who writes at the intersection of faith, love, and lived truth. I hold an MBA and a BS in IT Management, and I’m a devoted wife of 25 years and the proud mother of two amazing sons.

My debut novel, First Lady Games (2025), launched The Church Chronicles series—stories rooted in church culture, romance, forgiveness, and the beautifully complicated lives of believers. Since its release, I’ve been honored with the Writers Excellence Award and featured in outlets such as California Herald and Making Headlines

I was inspired to write from my experience as a pastor’s kid—growing up watched, judged, and often misunderstood. Through my work, I want women and men alike to know that you don’t have to shrink who you are to love Jesus. You can chase your dreams, be successful, have flaws, and still walk boldly in faith. The Church Chronicles is more than a series—it’s my literary sword, cutting through expectations while offering grace, truth, and redemption.
