Christine Schimpf

Christine Schimpf enjoys writing about small-town romance because she was born and raised in one in southeastern Wisconsin. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater Magna Cum Laude and is an award winning essayist. She began writing in 2011 with Nick, The Journey of a Lifetime, a fictionalized memoir of her husband’s grandparents and the start of what was once the largest egg farm in the Midwest. She then segued to inspirational romance with The Ticket, A Perfect Fit, A Christmas Kind of Perfect, and Falling for Chet, Catching a Cowboy and Finding His Way Home. Christine is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers Association and the Faith, Hope, and Love Christian Writers, and private writing Facebook groups. She lives on five acres in the country with her husband and is now fortunate to devote most of her time to writing. She always has a work in progress, but in her spare time, she enjoys golf, tennis, walking through the country roads of her neighborhood, and simply being outdoors where she finds inspiration. Her advice to those wanting to leap into writing is to join a writing/critique group, read as often as you can, and study the craft.
