Last night after meeting with a few Wilmington, NC writers. I set a goal of creating my author page on Amazon. My Bio: Eighteen years ago, while living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and waiting for my ship to come in. I published several short stories and a novel with The Wild Rose Press. After that, I took an Adult Gap Year from writing...it lasted thirteen years. In 2024, I signed a contract with The Wild Rose Press for my sweetheart romance novel, “Chance Meeting,” and have self-published two children’s stories. I am excited to be back writing. This morning on our 5 mile walk - what did we see? My ship has come in… Even though you're a leader - you can follow me on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/christinecolumbus or Good Reads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1453048.Christine_Columbus

I signed a contract with The Wild Rose Press for my Sweetheart story. I took a ten-year break from writing and during that time we have been traveling, camping, and volunteering at NWR and state parks. Now, that I am not spending my day planning routes to make sure our 40-foot, 5th wheel camper doesn’t go under a low bridge and get stuck. I am using my free time to write. We are currently living in a stick and brick in Wilmington, NC and I have been working on edits in the river shack I also recently self published a Children’s Story. Living Things available on Amazon .
