About Me

My photo
Christina C. Franklin
Pennsylvania, United States
Having previously lived in Pennsylvania, Colorado and Arizona, my husband, two cocker spaniels, one spoiled rotten cat and myself returned to our home state of Pennsylvania. My career includes 20+ years as either a legal and/or executive assistant. During this time, I have had the opportunity to write website content, design newsletters and write business litigation blogs to flex my creative muscle. I am currently working on my first novel and am a frequent contributor to The Story Shack.
