From illiterate to author, a forty-five-year journey. Born in Australia, Christine writes for the love of storytelling. I grew up with a creative father, who amazed, amused and intrigued me with stories from his past. My love of writing came from wanting to escape my problems and silently express my feelings and thoughts in what I thought a less painful way. Through many other writers helping and encouraging me, I finally was able to move from illiterate to author and get my works published. Readers and writers ask me how I come up with such unique stories and realistic characters when I don't plan anything, I tell them divine intervention and I'm sticking with it.
