<p>Christine Shuck is a writer, community educator, business owner, homeschool mom, and organic gardener. She lives in an 1899 Victorian in Kansas City with her husband and youngest daughter. <br>
<br>
A self-described auto-didact and general malcontent, Christine can be found outside in the spring and summer, tending her garden, laying brick walkways, and planting seeds in a hedonistic and random fashion (much to the dismay of one grass-loving neighbor). In the winter you will find her inside, painting walls, creating art, hand-sewing curtains, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.<br>
<br>
At all times you will find her brain filled with words, plot twists, and characters just waiting to get out. Just ask her, she'll smile secretively and nod.<br>
<br>
Christine writes cross-genre. At present, all of her fiction is linked through families and shared characters in a shared universe known as the Kapalaran Universe. <br>
