Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi,
I’m a mother of four children, first and foremost. I was once a professional ballerina – Principle dancer with what is now Anaheim Ballet. I was married for twenty years – hence the children. I love to dance International Latin ballroom. This is the first non-fiction piece I’ve written. My other works (still collecting dust in a file somewhere) have been fiction fantasy and mystery novels/screenplays.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Get Paid to Travel: Crew’s In With Christy was written to answer the question I get so much as a flight attendant, “Can you help me/my brother/ my daughter get a job with the airlines?”
I never knew how much I would love being a flight attendant and if I can help others into this fabulous career and life-style, I would be honored.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
As a dancer, I dance. Writing is what comes in-between pirouettes or small jumps…..
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many. I consider George MacDonald and G.K Chesterton to be my fathers in that they put the world into focus for me. Jane Austin is my master and Agatha Christie remains an indulgence.
What are you working on now?
Promoting Get Paid to Travel: Crew’s In With Christy.
Crew’s In With Christy is a travel vlog I host.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
That remains to be seen…
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Finish. Whatever it is. Finish what you’ve begun. There is incredible education to be had in a finished product.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Love yourself.
What are you reading now?
George MacDonald’s “Unspoken Sermons”
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’d like to finish the mystery novel I began years about transhumanism/fairy creatures as a screenplay.
What is your favorite book of all time?
This is REALLY hard…..can’t do it. It might be McMurtry’s “Lonesome Dove.”……
or, “Pride & Prejudice”….
or, “The Outsiders”…..
