NATASHA: Hi Christina! Thank you for the interview. Can you tell our readers about yourself and how long have you been a writer?

CHRISTINA: Thanks for having me stop by! For those who don’t know me, my name is Christina Bauer and I write books about chicks who kick ass. In terms of my career, I decided to make it a serious go of being an author in 2013. I then went full-time in 2019.

NATASHA:  When it comes to writing, do you have a certain routine or writing process that allows the ideas to flow better?

CHRISTINA: Before going full-time into writing, I used to work in the software industry. All code is written using set standards and processes, so I felt very at home with that in my life as an author. Essentially, I work from a series of outlines.

NATASHA: Can you tell our readers about your latest book? And how did you come up with the title?

CHRISTINA: DARE is the third book in my Pixieland Diaries series. It tells the ongoing adventures of a sassy pixie, Calla, and her love interest, the handsome elf prince, Dare.

NATASHA: How do you select the names of your characters?

CHRISTINA: Names come from the backstory I develop for the characters. In DARE, I relied a lot on Celtic stories about fairies. So in choosing names, I tried to integrate that tradition.

NATASHA: As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?

CHRISTINA:  An author! High tech just paid really well.

NATASHA: Besides writing, what do you enjoy doing on your spare time to relax?

CHRISTINA: Reading and spending time with my family.

NATASHA: Can you share with our readers any future projects that you are working on?

CHRISTINA: Next up is HUNTRESS, a dragon shifter romance. Fun!

NATASHA: How can our readers learn more about you and your books?
