Christina St Clair

Christina St. Clair has been a shopgirl, a chemist, a pastor, and an au-pair girl. She once sold American newspapers to Parisians to pay for rent in a hotel near Montmartre, where she survived on baguettes and Beaujolais. That was the beginning of her love for good bread and wine.

            She came to the United States when she was eighteen and has been a citizen for many years. She moved to Kentucky in 1996 to pursue her dream of becoming a published writer. Since arriving in Kentucky, along with getting degrees in philosophy, spirituality and women’s studies, she has won an award for young adult fiction and has won several writers’ retreats. She has published essays, articles and fiction. She is co-author, with Edwina Pendarvis, of Between Two Worlds: a Biography of Pearl S. Buck that has been published by the Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press in 2009.

            Her novel, Emily’s Shadow, is under contract with Blood Moon Publishing, a subsidiary of Double-Dragon-e-books.  Check back for publication date.

            Her goal as a writer is to use metaphor, character, and setting to try to plumb the nature of the human condition. She hopes to entertain by creating imagery that is thought provoking and deepening to its audience.
