Glimpses Inside the Writer-y Life
Welcome to my little corner of the Internet, everyone.
I’ve been making up stories for a living since 1998. Fueled by fever dreams and cold brew, I spend an inordinate number of hours in front of my MacBook working on my freelance articles and novels.
My latest is titled The Honorary Italians. The story of a motley crew of Minnesotans who decide to cook and eat their way through all 20 regions of Italy without leaving the Land of 10,000 Lakes, it’s a total escape that shouldn’t be read on an empty stomach. Consider yourself warned.
For more updates on when The Honorary Italians will be available in a store near you, make sure to subscribe to my newsletter and check out my Instagram feed for what’s inspiring me at the moment. Chances are, you’ll catch my latest travel adventures and whatever I’ve been cooking and baking.
Thanks for stopping by,
Christa
