: About Me

My name is Chrissie, I began writing when I was 12 and have been writing ever since. I have finished 2 novels that I am currently trying to get published. I have a published poetry book called 'Poems from the heart' which I self published through AthorHouse. I really enjoy writing but I have suffered with writer's block for some time now and I am desperatly trying to get back into it.

I have recently given birth to my daughter Rinoa and I don't get alot of free time to concentrate on my books at the moment, but I am hoping to write alot more in the future when I've sorted myself out a bit. My fiancee is very supportive and he also wants me to write again so hopefully it wn't take too long to gain my inspiration back.

That's about it really, Have fun and enjoy helium as much as I do.

Chrissie.

A Walk Of Innocence. It's funny how stories of life and death can pass you by every single day. You read another true life story in a magazine about "How my husband tried to kill me", but somehow it doesn't quite seem real. Even when it happens a few roads up from where you live you still have to see it to realize the seriousness of it. I'll always remember the summer of 1995, it was one of the warmest summers I had ever seen. Friday evenings were our social way of beginning the weekend. We would meet at one of our houses and drink ourselves to the limit and beyond. We being myself (Cat), ...
