Not being the social type, she decided to combat her boredom - and pretend to be working - by writing her own book instead. That initial story ended up being hundreds of hand-written pages long. And had absolutely nothing resembling a plot arc.
But the stories and characters stuck around as the girl grew up - her saviors in times of stress or boredom...or work meetings which are often both. They entertained her, distracted her, and both kept her out of and got her into trouble. Eventually, they told her that they were tired of being stuck only inside her head. They wanted a change of scenery. When they started to yell loudly enough, Christina gave in and agreed to put them all into their own books.
It's going to take a while to get to them all - it's crowded in there.
Currently, Christina Winds spends her days wrangling databases and her evenings as a mother of two teens, mom-taxi driver, cook, handyman, woodworker, dog-toy thrower, cat servant…and prolific reader. In what spare time she can squeeze out, she writes novels. Her favorite stories are the ones in which the bad guy isn't all that bad—if only you understood his point of view. Everyone is the hero of their own story. It is her belief that we should all look for that hero in everyone we meet.view less
