She has vivid memories of air raids, middle-of-the-night races to bomb shelters, and the devastation to London as a result of bombing. However, what lingers in her mind even more was the magical night when the war ended. To a child of six, that night was unbelievable. Until that day, there were no streetlights, and she often wondered what the poles in the streets were for. Now there were lights everywhere, and fireworks over the river. That was the beginning of her love of magic and fantasy, and a hope for the end of wars. She became intrigued with the idea of other universes where dragons live and people cast magic spells. Because she loves working with children, she told and illustrated tales from ancient myths and fairy stories. After attending art college then teacher college, Christine taught those with special needs, where her skills as a pianist and artist were put to good use. Later she moved to the USA, married, and settled there. Life became very busy with three young children of her own, but Christine continued to teach and work with other children. She enjoyed composing short plays with song and dance and simplifying stories with illustrations for their enjoyment.Throughout the years, she continued working with children, teaching Sunday school, running cub scout packs, working with playgroups, and instructing piano to beginners.But she never lost her love of dragons. Inspired by her eldest three grandsons, she began to craft her first story. With the threat of pollution and climate change on her mind, she set the story in an alternate universe, where the human race has a chance to change their future.vizualizați mai puține
