Christy’s Story

As most authors, Christy has been writing since she was a little girl. Stories and ideas were written on any type of scrap paper that made its way into her clutches. Aside from the folders filled with such papers, spiral-bound notebooks could be found strewn about the house with a range of stories from fanciful fiction to autobiography. She had written the first chapter of a fanciful fiction story about the adventures of pants and pantyhose long before Pixar came out with “Toy Story” and “Cars.” Her story was similar to “Homeward Bound,” just with a textile twist. Her overactive imagination was ahead of the curve.

Her imagination has matured, and she now has the attention span to sit down and flesh out a story idea before starting another one. Her inspiration comes in many forms, but Jesus, travel, cultures, languages, and justice are passions of hers that she loves to study and pursue.

The big push that got her pursuing publishing was when her dad died in 2011. He had always encouraged her to finish what she started and–for once–she wanted to do just that to honor his memory. So once she finished writing the novel, she asked herself, “how hard would it be to get this thing published?” And that led her on the journey she is on today.

There’s a big wide world out there beyond what any of us has seen. There are stories that deserve a spotlight and lessons to learn, if not through experience then through fiction. Join us in exploring places, hearing stories, and meeting people that will change our path forever!
