"Christine's place was delightful! It was a gift to the senses and a very cozy place. Every need was anticipated and met, and she was accommodating and prompt to respond. The beds were especially comfortable. I don't usually stay in or near a city, but I felt completely safe and secure. I wish we had a reason to stay longer and would highly recommend a stay there." - Rebecca, a guest at Cottage West
Other books by Christine D. Shuck
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.
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.
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.
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.
