Christina Sinisi is a professor at Charleston Southern University and the author of several Christian Romance novels, including Christmas at Okracoke, Another Outer Banks Christmas, Christmas Confusion, Sweet Summer, and Why They Call it Falling.
In eighth grade, I wrote my first novel–something about the spices in our kitchen coming to life. Or was it the monstrous goop that came out of the sink and swallowed my family?
I attended Hollins College and wrote more poetry. But over the years, life got busy and writing took a backseat to raising my two children, Scott now 27, and Lindsey, 23. I also became a psychology professor because I love people and studying how we all work. I actually started down the psychology road because I wanted to write better characters.
Then, on June 6, 2019, I saw a call for Christmas novellas, due by the end of the month! I buckled down and wrote The Christmas Confusion in 3 weeks! It got accepted. Next up was last year’s Christmas on Ocracoke. When I shared that first novella with my mentor, she said she wanted to read the sisters’ stories and Shelby’s story, Sweet Summer came out July 6, 2021. Emma’s story, Why They Call it Falling, published in 2022. I just finished writing Meggy’s story, Hope of Hatteras. Megan is Trey’s younger sister from Ocracoke. I get attached to my characters!
My roots are deep in the South and my stories are about the families who live here. Thank you for reading and thank the Lord for His gifts!
