An Interview with Kristin Armstrong

More About Kristin Armstrong

Kristin Armstrong is a California native who now divides her time between Austin, Texas and the South of France. She graduated from Miami University in Oxford Ohio. In a previous life Kristin worked as a manager at a high technology company, and as an account executive for an advertising/public relations firm where she met her husband-to-be, Lance Armstrong.

She is now the oh-so-proud mother of a one-year old son named Luke and speaks halfway decent French. She enjoys running, reading, red wine and occasional tandem rides with her husband, Cancer survivor, Olympic medalist, and two-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong. Lance and Kristin passionately support the fight against cancer and each other.

Why a book for children about her husband’s struggles? When Kristin was pregnant and trying to avoid the Texas heat, she stayed inside where it was air-conditioned and wrote these stories for their future child. Friends enjoyed them so much that they wanted copies for their kids, saying how hard it is to find a good role model these days. And so not long after, the book, and baby Luke, were born.
