The Author's Journey with published author Christine Boucher

Let us welcome published author Christine Boucher to the program. In this episode we go over the author's journey, the ups and downs and tips from Christine. I love her story of becoming an author, especially since her book series was inspired by a set of Andara Crystals - a whole set of chakra colors that led her into a journey of self-discovery and finally to the mountain slopes of Mt. Shasta.Christine Boucher is a writer, yoga instructor, wife, mother to three, and animal lover who lives in New Hampshire. Christine is the new fictional author of the YA series, Mount Shasta: A Journey to Telos. Christine first started creating fantasy worlds as a small child at her desk in Indiana and then as a tween in New Hampshire. Sticking to the practical side of the world, she obtained a business degree and masters in accounting. For many years, she secretly continued to write, read, and research with her beloved dog and cat by her side. She is a lover of yoga, water-skiing, the beach, great meals, and watching her kids grow into who they want to become. Christine is the published author of Express Yourself! Joyful Journaling for Kids. Here next book series is in the processing of getting published and we encourage you to stay tuned for it when it does hit the press - she already has the first 2 books in the series ready to go.
