ABOUT CHRISTINE

The short version...

I write books for kids—both fiction and nonfiction. The grosser or funnier or spookier the topic, the better!

The slightly longer version...

As a former physician, I now spend my days writing books, reading books, and working at a library where I’m surrounded by books. I live in Madison, WI with my husband, two daughters, a plethora of dust bunnies, and one incredibly lazy cat. 

10 random things about me you probably don't care about...

  • Having lived in Wisconsin for most of my life, I’m a huge Brewer fan, Packer fan, and Badger volleyball fan. I’ve never worn a cheesehead, but I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea.
  • I love traveling. The further away, the better. My #1 bucket list travel destination: EGYPT!!
  • When I was in elementary school I wanted to become an astronaut.
  • I love the TV show The Great British Baking Show. I have no idea why.
  • I LOVE volleyball and used to coach a middle school team!
  • I HATE the cold. Which makes Wisconsin winters super fun.
  • I’m terrified of heights. And swimming suits.
  • I love silly, G-rated jokes. My favorite: Why didn’t the toilet paper cross the road?  It was stuck in a crack!
  • My first “real” job was running the teleprompter at a local TV station.
  • My favorite animal: the red panda. They’re so cute!
