Chrissy has worked over the years as a language forensics specialist, teacher, columnist, and film critic. But no matter what she was doing to bring in a paycheck, she was always writing something. When changes and new challenges made working from home wise, she became a full time writer, artist, and web designer. Chrissy now writes romance under a closely guarded pen name. She is also planning to publish a young adult novel soon under her own name, featuring ferrets, elves, angels, gypsies, and a brave young woman named Echo. Her web designs and graphic work appear at WebSong , which provides free graphics and includes a helpful tutorial section for beginners in web page design.

...one writer stumbling along the path to inspiration...

Diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2005, Chrissy became active in the search for a cure and the hope that public awareness will bring about more funding and research for the disease. Though the disease has required her to work primarily from her home in Green Harbor, she continues to be active daily. For more information on PF and how you can get involved, visit The Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis. She is also a survivor of breast and lung cancer.

For regular updates on writing projects, publication dates, and the meandering ramblings of a mad woman in her attic, check the blog.

Chrissy is also a founding member of The Sceptics' Tank, an online think tank and publisher of award winning articles. She is a member of the National Writers Union. Her dog, Max is a model and spokesdog who is represented by Peter Sendanski. She spends spare time with her soul-mate, and the love of her life, Ahmed, in their vacation home in Maine with their pugs and the healing silence of Snow Pond, or goofing off on ebay looking for antique cameos.
