Christiane is an Australian lawyer with a hankering for dark magic and a will for words. She can be found cuddling her yellow labrador, attempting pirouettes in her living room, and buying too many lipsticks of the same shade. A lover of her amazing husband and cheese, Christiane lives in Melbourne.

As we, all writers, stand on the fraying hem of creation, we become aware that we are just souls torched of meaning. For us, words grow—quite violently—in our hands.

And nothing—no nothing—can stop the momentum of a story that must be told. This is our debt on earth.

To write.
