From illiterate to author, a thirty year journey. Australian author, Christine Jones writes for the love of storytelling and self-growth.

I grew up with a creative father, who amazed, amused and intrigued me with stories from his past. My love of writing came from wanting to escape my problems and silently express my feelings and thoughts in what I thought a less painful way. Through family and many other writers helping and encouraging me, I finally was able to move from illiterate to author and get my works published. Gone are the 500 word sentences and I can now tell the difference between their and there, I owe that one and many other similar words to my daughter’s persistence.

I write like author Joe blogs, is that good?

What is all this talk about style of writing? Hey, it’s your baby, your creation. Are you an individual or a sheep disguised as a human?

Ann Keller Greetings, Christine! Just dropping by this morning to say hello and see how you are doing.

Blast! I still haven't gotten to your second Mariard book, have I? And I wanted to read Aus.com, also. As a wise one once said, "So many books, so little time"!

Ann B. Keller

Maria Hi Christine, thanks for your comment on my profile. Yes, I have already joined SFA, and I think it's a great cause. I will be adding my new book to the list on the SFA website as soon as it's published

Best,

Maria

Tommy Chris, I have not talked to you in a long time. It was great to hear from you. How's the weather "down under". I hope you and your family are all well and happy.
Have a great day mate!

Ann Keller How kind of you to drop by, Chris! That was wonderful.

I DO have a question for you, though. I was staring at all of my books the other day and wondering whether I could ship some of them off to Shadow Forest Authors. Is that allowed? How do I go about doing that? I assume that these books do not necessarily have to be my works, but could be some of the classics, reference, sci-fi, romance, western, etc.

Let me know when you have a second. I'd love to send them some place where I know they'll do considerable good.

Ann B. Keller

Jeannie Faulkner Barber Good morning Christine and how sweet of you to stop by to say hi. Girl, I just got back from WY where our youngest son, Garry lives. His wife flew me in (my hubby had to work) to surprise him for his birthday! We pulled it off with a bang! Aren't I blessed to have a dnl that loves me that much? Most girls would want to send their mother-in-laws AWAY...ha!
Hope you're having an awesome summer.
Blessings,
Jeannie
