Christina Wolfer

Christina Wolfer's first compiled writings were gathered and stapled together when she was just ten years old. Those short stories often captured her life growing up on a 39-acre farm in Williamsburg, OH, a small town east of Cincinnati. There were horses, cows, pigs, dogs, and cats - basically, a zoo - which included three older brothers. After pursuing a degree in Journalism and a career in Marketing, she moved back to her small hometown and bought the farm she grew up on as a child. Once there, she met and married her own real-life romance hero. Her other interests includes horses, reading and photography. As a writer of contemporary romance and romantic suspense, her stories no longer resemble those first compiled writings of long ago, but her passion and desire to weave a good story has remained a driving force in her life. "Like any good story, my journey has just begun and the ending is yet to be written." Two Brothers - August 2011, Undercover - October 2011, The Daughter - January 2012
