Christina hopes writing will be a new direction and will keep her mind acting in the last quarter of her life. She enjoys reminiscing her parents’ lives and her early life. Christina and her husband are both retired and are in the process of moving to country Queensland. She is doing a tree change and hopes to get a caravan to explore further. They might even discover new fishing spots for Christina’s husband to enjoy and she hopes the journey will inspire her to write interesting stories.
