A Friendship That Lasts
Some friendships just stick with you. Christine is one of those wonderful people for me. We met years ago through a mutual friend. I was immediately drawn to her bubbly-intellectual energy. It’s an incredible mix of enthusiasm and deep knowledge that I admire greatly.
When I picked up her first book, Sabina, I was instantly hooked. I had to dive straight into her next work, Allegra!
A Passion for History
Christine’s love for history isn’t just limited to the page; it's in her bones. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from UMASS Dartmouth and wasted no time. She packed her bags and headed straight to Italy. There, she led educational tours and worked as a museum guide in Florence. She basically lived in the Renaissance—minus the corsets.
Her debut novel, Sabina, soared to #1 in Renaissance Fiction on Amazon in 2014. This achievement proved that history can truly be thrilling! Since then, she’s continued crafting incredible historical novels. Most of them are set in Italy. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to stay there forever?
Life in Brazil and Around the World
Though Christine now resides in Brazil with her husband, her passion for history and adventure takes her all over the world. Traveling doesn’t just inspire her writing; it enriches her life experiences.
I’m thrilled that we got to reconnect. I know you’ll love the video below. In it, she shares the fascinating history behind one of Florence’s most important landmarks—the Palazzo Vecchio. Fun fact: it still serves as the town hall today!
