Thanks to an aunt's love of genealogy, Christyne discovered both Louisa May Alcott and Harriet Beecher Stowe are members in her extended family tree on her mother's side, so she firmly believes her love of writing has always been her destiny. Her father served in the Air Force for twenty years and she spent her youth growing up all over the world before her family settled in New Hampshire. She joined the United States Navy where she fell in love with romance novels. She sold her first ever 'finished' manuscript in 2006 and made her first sale to Harlequin in 2008. She writes contemporary romances about 'Sassy Women, Smart Men and Small Town America'. She lives in central Massachusetts with her family.
