Or should that be Writer’s Book Camp? Students from Veritas school in Newberg arranged for me to speak one afternoon of their week-long writing intensive. What a fun group of kids. I believe all of them were going into 8th or 9th grade, and belong to a critique group together at one time or another. […]

Christy Award Nomination?!?
This morning, Mom ran up the stairs demanding, in a VERY excited voice, me to tell her what I had been hiding from her. “What? What are you talking about?” “You don’t know? You’ve been nominated for the Christy Award!!” As frugal as we writers are to be with our exclamation points, that’s an exclamation […]
Reading: Is It an Addiction?
Hi, my name is Christina Berry, and I’m addicted to reading. [all of you]: Hi, Christina. You are in a safe place here. Seriously. Despite finishing two editing jobs in as many days, I managed to read The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. This is definitely an R-rated book, with one sexual situation that really […]
Writer-palooza!
By Christina Tarabochia on February 19, 2010 in ACFW, OCW, Redeemed Writers, The Familiar Stranger, Writing
It’s been nonstop, writing-related activities around here … and the forecast is more of the same! I’ll be putting tons of pictures up on facebook, so friend me there if you haven’t already, but I want to give you a taste of what the life of a (not so) famous author is like. 🙂 Valentine’s […]
You’ll Never Believe What I’m Doing Today!
Many of you know I claim to be a writer. That I, in fact, do have a book out in the world. So guess what I’m doing today?? Yep, I’m actually writing! 😉 After getting my newest fiction proposal off to my agent, I decided to focus on the funky devotional another publisher is interested […]
Moody Launches Fiction Blog!
You’ve probably already heard about it, but I want to make sure. Moody has launched a fiction blog! Today they are asking, “What kind of fiction books do you enjoy the most? Do you prefer reading a certain genre, author, time period, or writing style?” If you leave a comment answering that question, you’ll be […]
Double the Dork–Double the Fun
Andrea’s tap class performed at a local senior center on Saturday. Since her dad couldn’t make it, I was going to tape it on my camera (no video camera still since it was lost 8 months ago) so he could watch it. When her group was waiting in the wings, I tried to find the […]

Just a quick note for those of you in the Portland area: I’ll be doing a Black Friday signing of The Familiar Stranger at the Hillsboro Lighthouse Book & Bible from 10 AM to 1 PM. Come by with your Christmas list, enjoy cookies and coffee, get personalized autographs, and finish ALL your Christmas shopping […]
And How Quickly I Fall!
Back into undisciplined posting, that is. Sixty out of sixty-one days on the tour, I believe, and then three posts since? I’m pitiful! Lately I’m behind because of subbing (wood shop, PE, and band were the latest), doing tons of paperwork for a financial thing, virtual paper work for my divine new agent, and beating […]
Pleased to Announce …
By Christina Tarabochia on November 4, 2009 in Redeemed Writers, TFS Blog Tour, The Familiar Stranger, Wendy Lawton, Writing
Mom and I have both found representation with Books & Such‘s Wendy Lawton! Here we are with her in 2006. We may look pretty normal in this photo, but … Â this is how we “dressed up” for the formal evening that year. We decided to go country chic. Notice our faux fur dogs at […]
