About Christina Berry
Mother and foster parent, I carve time to write from my busy schedule because I must tell the stories that haunt my every waking moment. (Such is the overly dramatic description of an author's life!) I hold a BA in Literature, yet love a good Calculus problem, as well. My debut novel, The Familiar Stranger, released from Moody in September, and is available online(Christian Book or Amazon) or in local bookstores. The book deals with lies, secrets, and themes of forgiveness in a troubled marriage.

I have been published in The Oregonian, The Secret Place, and Daily Devotions for Writers. A member of Oregon Christian Writers, American Christian Fiction Writers, and the Redeemed Writer's Critique Group, I love taking words out of my head so it's quieter in there. Stop by Ashberry Lane to read updates on the progress of my novels.

Most importantly, subscribe to the infrequent, humorous Ashberry Lane newsletter for a chance to win an iPod Shuffle or free autographed books for life! Visit my website or Posting with Purpose to find out even more about me.

On Winning the Carol   10/12/2010 - 12:37 PM
"I hope someone else wins." No, I wasn't the one who said that gracious statement before the awards ceremony at ACFW. I wanted to win. But I didn't think I would. It's been so long since the awards ceremony--I had a 13-hr travel day home, t... (login or sign up to read more)

The Unacceptance Non-speech   7/24/2010 - 7:11 PM
Though I would have accepted. And I'm never speechless. :) Moody had told me to have a one-minute speech ready, just in case. As I looked at the books I was up against, I honestly didn't expect to win, but I crafted one anyway, because I'm ... (login or sign up to read more)
