Christina Hollis is an author from the southwest of England who lives in Gloucestershire. She left school at sixteen with few qualifications and after working in various low-grade jobs in finance and marketing took a year out to see if she could become a writer. Six historical novels, seventeen contemporary romances, and dozens of non-fiction articles later, she was commissioned by Pen and Sword Books to write Struggle and Suffrage in Bristol. This gave her a taste for research, so she enrolled at the University of Gloucestershire as a mature student. She emerged from the archives two years later with an MA (Distinction) in Critical and Creative Writing.Christina is a member of both the Society of Authors and the Romantic Novelists’ Association. She acts as a Reader for the RNA’s New Writers’ Scheme, which helps unpublished novelists learn their craft.
