Christine Unger

Having her poetry published at 14, Christine knew at a young age she wanted to be a writer. Born in NY, Christine was a quiet, friendly and intelligent girl who loved reading and drawing. She developed a passion for comics and taught herself how to draw. She continued writing poetry throughout her teen years and began writing her first novel after her daughter was born. Although her writing slowed and she had another child, this time a son, she never gave up the passion that brewed inside her. Now, living in Pennsylvania, her children are older and her job is more flexible. She has the time to dedicate to her long love of writing. Christine still makes time for drawing, as her son is into anime and challenges her to put the things on paper that he likes most. She has a photo album on Facebook dedicated to her art. Christine is currently working on 3 novels, all started long ago. The 2 she wrote in her early twenties, inspired by her daughter, and the one she recently began brainstorming, are all fiction novels and should be completed by years end.
