Meet the Author: Christine Cristiano
From a very young age, Christine felt compelled to put pen to paper and weave tales of make believe. Her first real attempt at fiction took place at the age of nine when she accompanied her mother to work. With nothing to occupy her time, Christine sat down at one of the typewriters and pumped out her first fable. During her summer break in her tenth year, Christine spent hours sitting on her front porch chronicling the adventures of a fictitious character named Jenny.
Through her elementary school years, Christine continued to practice her prose and delight her teachers and classmates with her stories.
“Throughout the years, something my eighth grade teacher said always stuck in my mind,” recalls Christine. “After reading one of my stories to the class, Mrs. B complimented me on my story and remarked that if I didn’t become a writer - she didn’t know what I would be become.”
In 2000, after the purchase of a brand new computer, Christine was introduced to the Internet and took her first steps along her path towards a writing career. Her compulsion to write has taken her along a remarkable journey of inspiration, perseverance and wisdom. To date, her work has appeared in hundreds of publications throughout Canada and the United States.
Christine Cristiano hangs her hat in Ontario, Canada and shares her world with her husband, two boys, and a beagle named Tessie.
