About the Author

Northern New York native, Christine, a blossoming author from her early childhood days, nurtured by her Gramma Mary, Nana, encouraged her visits to the local library during her summer stays at her favorite little nook, the cottage on the river in Chaumont, NY. Reading became the rainy-day distraction that sparked her love of fantasy and a way to immerse herself in viewing words of text on pages to take her away on adventures and to dream of the visions the books portrayed. Writing was a secret passion of hers, starting with small plays, poems, and stories. When she became a mom, reading books and telling made-up stories to her children was her favorite and most memorable time spent with her boys. Christine still stores those books from days past when her boys were little, awaiting to be dusted off and rediscovered through the eyes and wonderment of her someday grandchildren. Pocket Mouse sparked when her children left for college and her husband was deployed in the US Army. Her compassion for rescuing animals, honoring loved ones who passed, military connection, strong community roots, and family first, definitely influenced the text of the stories. Pocket Mouse began its lines but was then set aside when life happened but was always a bright light that needed to shine. When not writing you can be sure to see her enjoying her favorite hot cocoa or chai tea and blueberry muffin alone or with her BFF Valerie. Often spends many wonderful priceless times with family, friends, and her beloved pups, who are all rescues. Or, simply sitting on the shore overlooking the waters of the Chaumont River which she calls the best place on earth. Utopia does exist! Pocket Mouse is currently a series of four books. Each of her books is written to tell a about the irreplaceable bond of BFFS and family, and how being found when you feel lost is the bestest things ever!
