About

Name: Christine Brant

Born: April ‘77 (you can do the math)

Education:
– I have a bachelors in Human development and a Masters in education

Occupation:
– I am a full time mom and part time teacher. I hope to be a full time author soon as well.

Family:
– I am married to a wonderful man who is also my best friend and we have three amazing children. All of whom are already storytellers  – I would say writers but one can’t write yet ;-) .

Home:
– My family lives in and loves West Seattle.  It is an amazing community.

Writing Goals:
– to write stories people will love and characters people would want to meet and get to know. I want people to wonder at the end of the story what my characters are doing now.

Some of my favorite authors

–See my links to see the pages of some of the authors I enjoy reading. My links also include authors who my children love, and those authors who have inspired me. My links are by no means an exhaustive list.

Hobbies:
– reading – I love to read, I like fantasy, mystery, science fiction, and romance but also enjoy other books as well. I have loved reading since I was a little girl and am enjoying passing the passion onto my children.
– writing – I like to write stories but I also journal I find it a great way to work through my day and my struggles.
– watching Sci-fi with my husband – we are both geeks. Although I have to admit I was not as awe struck with Avatar as most of the masses. It was pretty but ehh.
– cross stitching – yeah I know – but I think I already mentioned I am a geek – this makes me a nerd too I think.

Thanks:
– JSD, RCD, & AN – I love you guys, you are the three best friends anyone could ever ask for. Thank you for being my motivation and first readers.Some people don’t even get to have one best friend.  I get three.

–To the authors who inspire me – both through their writing and through their kindness and motivating words both at conferences and through social networking.

–To my amazing editor, Dave Colbert, this would not be happening without your help.
