Who I Am

My name's Christine. Hi!

Before I started writing my own stories, I was a reader. My earliest memories all involve books. At first being read to me, later being read by me until I fell asleep on my glasses.

I fell in love with writing my own stories in grade school, and fell out of love with how I wrote them sometime around college. But I think the first step to writing well is realizing that you currently don't. So now I approach each story hell bent on one simple goal, to tell it better than I told the last.

I received my bachelor's in anthropology, and now I live and work in the desert southwest. My hobbies include staying inside the air conditioning and reading all summer, and venturing out to hike a bit when the weather has less in common with an oven.

Speak of Ashes is my first novel, and I aim to release the second one soon.
