Me and my dog Maggie, my first baby
Hey there! Thanks for checking out my blog. I’m Kate Christie, a lesbian fiction writer currently residing in the Pacific Northwest. My first novel, Solstice, was released by Bella Books in March 2010; my second, Leaving L.A., in January 2011; and my third, Beautiful Game, in July 2011. In March 2012, I decided to break out on my own with Gay Pride & Prejudice, a queer variation on Jane Austen’s classic romance novel. To read descriptions of each book along with first chapters, please visit my web site at www.katejchristie.com.
In addition to being an author of lesbian fiction, I recently became a parent–my wife, Kris, gave birth to our daughter, Alex, on 2-23-11. My intent is to use this blog to ruminate on fiction-writing and parenting, to explore the differences between the two and any intersections, along with any other topic that seems interesting on any given day. Although as a new parent I may have to work to find time and energy to write, I plan to check in here every few weeks. Wish me luck!
Thanks for visiting, and feel free to share any feedback. Happy reading and writing to all!
Love Love Loved Beautiful Game, read it in a day. Being an athlete growing up and a bit into adulthood, I had been craving a book just like this and would LOVE to be able to find more. Thank you for such a wonderful book that all of us former lesbian jocks had been missing in the lesbian genre. Keep it up cannot wait for your next novel…any hints? hehe! Best of wishes in writing, home and family!
Love your work. I really enjoyed Leaving L.A. The pictures of your child are really cute. She looks like a very happy kid. Looking forward to the Gay and Lesbian Pride and Prejudice. Sounds like an interesting concept.
Thanks, Sherry! I’m always happy to hear from someone who likes my work–naturally.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed Leaving LA, and that GPP sounds interesting. And of course, thanks for saying nice things about our daughter. She is indeed a happy, low-key kid. We count ourselves lucky daily, and couldn’t be happier ourselves to have her in our lives. Thanks again for getting in touch, and happy reading!
