Featured Interview With Christina L. Barr
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Pontiac, MI. I’ve moved to other cities in Oakland County, but now I’ve moved back to Pontiac to try and build up the community that I was born in.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
We had some great reading programs in school, and the teachers that read to us really made a big impact on me. “The Giver” still remains one of my favorite stories. I’ve always been a good writer. I preached my first sermon at 9. I’ve been song writing since I was 12. At 18, I finished my first novel. Now that I’m 25, I’ve completed 10 and published 5. I’ve always been ambitious, and I would like to finish 30 books when I hit that age. Lord knows I have enough ideas!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I like to read non fiction books that will somehow better me as a person and increase my success. I read faith books, books about finances, and biographies. As far as fiction goes, I read pretty mainstream stuff, because I do like to study successful stories and I wanna know how I can achieve that level. However, I do give indie books a chance, because I know I’ve written a lot of undiscovered gems, so somebody else probably has as well.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
The latest book that I finished writing was the sequel to “Almost Alive”, but the latest one that I published is called, “The Queen”. It’s a story about an inhuman girl that’s cursed to be the queen of her colony. The Elders that rule it see her as a tool to breed, but after they murder her mother, a dark power within her awakens and gives her the advantage. She takes her life into her own hands and leaves to find love on her own terms so she can start a family, get rid of The Elders, and change her dysfunctional world. It’s a dark romantic story that’s really a lovely tale about an innocent girl discovering love while surrounded by a twisted society. It’s genuinely a very unique tale. It’s different from everything you ever read and inspired by something you see all the time: bees.
