Christine is the guest author in My Writing Corner this week. She tells us that after graduating from the University of Washington, she
earned her MBA at the University at Albany. She says she honed her technical writing
skills in marketing and consulting but attributes the creative part of the
process to her passion for reading.
When she isn’t reading or writing, Christine says that she can often be found
running, skiing, or hiking, perfect pass times for the Northwest. She lives in Newcastle, Washington, with her
supportive husband, two avid teen readers, and their energetic wheaten
terriers. Dickensen Academy is her debut novel and while it is a young adult paranormal, it sounds like the sort of book that both young and old alike will enjoy:
Dickensen Academy isn’t a typical boarding school. The
faculty is hiding an unbelievable secret within their fine arts program. When
Autumn Mattison receives an invitation to attend the high school, she yearns to
escape her overbearing father yet remains reluctant to leave her mother and
brother. Her doubts fade away when a vivid dream convinces her she belongs
there.
Away from home, Autumn discovers a unique school
environment that awakens her creative potential, and her new friends become
like a second family. However, as she uncovers more about the dark side of the
school and struggles with its curriculum, she questions whether Dickensen
Academy is truly where she belongs.
When tragedy strikes, Autumn must learn to believe in
her own power and stand up to her greatest fear or risk having her memories
destroyed to protect the school’s secrets. Caught between secrets and dreams,
can she find her true self?
Now that definitely sounds like a good book for back to school reading! If you'd like to see what others are saying about her new book, here are the review links:

Thank you so much for hosting me. I'd love to hear about when and where you lived in the Pacific NW. (sorry I'm so late to respond.) Putting a book out has been busier than I expected. I'm glad it sounds intriguing.
