Christina Leigh Pritchard was born in Plantation, Florida but grew up in the Delray Beach/Boca Raton area. She started writing as soon as she could read and tortured her grandmother with the sound of clanking typewriter keys until her favorite Aunt Carolee gave her a Macintosh computer; a treasured heirloom as it originally belonged to her late grandfather who went out of his way to encourage and inspire Christina's writing. The computer is older than the writer but still works! (These days, it's an XP she creates with, her Aunt Carolee-a great inspiration and encouragement and yes, Grandma Jan gets a migraine if she even thinks about a typewriter!)
