104: Christina Tsirkas - Author of The Night Sender

Christina comes out of a copy-editing background but caught the novel-writing bug when a vivid dream presented her with a story she couldn’t shake. She believes young writers shouldn’t be afraid to write the book they’d want to read and that an author owes it to herself to push the envelope in terms of imagination, sensuality, and intricate plot lines instead of following trends and standard tropes. She also relished the freedom to make her own decisions on marketing and book design that going indie offered.   Christina Tsirkas grew up in New York City and has since migrated to the beautiful beaches of sunny South Florida where she lives with her partner and the most amazing cat, Kitty. She received her B.S. degree from Skidmore College in 2009 and went on to earn a full scholarship from the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University. She is licensed to practice law in New York State (though she has yet to exercise that right!) The Night Sender is her debut novel. To learn more about Christina, click here.
