Chris loves nothing more than to spend the entire day cooking a special dinner for her family and her twenty-eight nieces and nephews. She believes, at the very end of our lives, when we take a good look back, we will realize that all that really mattered were our relationships. They're the meaning and the joy of life.

 

Chris has loved books since she was a kid. To this day, she can be found in some hidden corner of the house with her nose in a book or voraciously writing stories and poetry. She is officially classified as the nerd who wrote a poem for her best friend in the 7th grade. With a B.S. in Business from Canisius College in New York, she took every English and Literature class to create her own English minor. Chris has traveled to 28 countries and is not proud to declare that she's moved around a lot. She's lived in 10 different small towns across the U.S. including the deep bayou of Louisiana, the remote Appalachian Mountains of 1West Virginia, the foot of the Adirondack Mountains of New York, the abandoned steel mills of Pennsylvania and the touristy coast of Florida. All of her books are set in places she has lived. They may be visited and investigated as authentic and strange and mysterious and weird and…wonderful. She was the Founder and President of IntellSource, Inc., a successful medical consulting company, until she retired to pursue her first love, reading and writing, all day long. She now lives in the Carolinas with her husband of 38 years, close to the most wonderful grandbaby in the entire world, Miss Sawyer Brooke, and two mischievous grand pups, Ralphie and Hank.

 

Chris also believes, when there’s nothing new under the sun, and you long for something more, be the change that you're looking for. And that is the reason for the BOOKSTORM Podcast—a deeper dive into best-selling books. A closer and more serious look at books that matter, books that make a difference in every single reader's life, long after the last page is turned.She can’t wait for you to join her on BOOKSTORM, where she hopes you will soon discover: There is no story told that is pure fiction; for everything we think we imagined is simply built upon the reality of what we already know to be true. Her motto: “Read a book, because within those mysterious pages, filled with interesting people and far-away places, you will discover something of you—something lost, something buried, or, maybe, just maybe, something you never knew.
