About Me

Hello! Shall I offer you a cup of coffee, an awkward hug, or both? My name is Christina, but years of being beckoned by children has forced me to become just ‘Neena.’ I live in a small suburb of Atlanta, Georgia that tried to work its way into the Guinness Book of World Records for the town with the most homemade scarecrows. I know, right!?

I live here with my husband, a born Southern Gent, and my three wickedly smart and nerdy children.

I am a former high school English, occasional freelance writer, and recent earner of a PhD.  I am a book lover, a drinker of too much coffee, and a night time romance writer.  I love my vegetable garden, The Walking Dead, and cold weather.  I hate sports and scrapbooking.  I love taking pictures but I’m still trying to learn how to use my fancy digital camera I got three years ago.  Here’s some random facts:

I won’t eat mint chocolate chip ice cream unless it is green.

I have an older brother.  He is a mortician.

I have 5 tattoos.

I once met Martin Sheen in a KMart in my hometown in Ohio.

I have a terrible fear of driving on interstates.

My husband and I were married in a ceremony that lasted about 7 1/2 minutes.

We share our wedding anniversary with my grandparents (June 25).

My nickname in middle school was “Big Mac”

I had a hysterectomy at 29.

I wish I could have more kids.

I hate wearing high heels.

So, you wanna be friends?!
