Chris Marie Green: She was born at Luke's Hospital in Milwaukee,WI. She has not always been the wonderful author that she has become. Chris used to be a school teacher but now she is a full time writer. She has traveled from New Orleans to Japan. She also sometimes writes under the name Crystal Green. Chris started out by writing poems and short stories then moved on to novels after she graduated from college with a B.A. in English. At the time she was still a teacher, but she gave her teaching job up in 2002. To know more about Chris you can visit her website located at the bottom of this page.
Christine Flynn: She grew up in New Jersey. Christine moved after high school to attend Boston college where she graduated with her B. A. in English Literature. She was once put down by a professor about her choice of writing love books. What he said was kind of harsh. He told her that she should probably justt read love stories instead of trying to write them and she would save herself plenty of trouble. Of course she took words that strong coming from a professor pretty hard, so she left that class and never went back. After that Christine didn't write much for the next 15 years. Then her husband bought her a book as a mother's day present. She finally got her focus back and became confident in writing again. She is now an award winning author and considered "one of the genre's master storytellers" by Romantic Times Magazine.
Sarah Dessen was born June 6, 1970. She is an American romance author. She published eight books so far including Keeping the Moon releasing June 2009. She attended high school at Chapel Hill High School. She graduated in 1993 from UNC Chapel Hill. Her parents teach there as well. She is married with a daughter, Sasha Clementine. She lives in NC. As a pastime, Sarah likes to go to Starbucks and shop at the GAP. I like to read her books because many of her topics refer to everyday life and situations and her books help me with my decision making skills. One of her most famous quotes from her novel Just Listen that sticks with me now is "Don't think or judge, just listen."
