We asked her several questions. Her answers were both Fun and enlightening.
How long have you been a Creative? I call myself a renaissance curvmugeon. I have been creating all my life and focused on becoming a published author for the past 3 years.
Why did you choose to be an Indie Author? Because the market has changed and the only way to be seen in a crowded field is to prove you can do it yourself first.
Has any of your work been published/shown or do you have a website? If so, where? Currently have stories published online in Write of Passion Literary Journal, Dragon’s Within- Claiming her Wings (available on Amazon and a few other places including the publisher’s website- Balance of Seven) *Editor’s note – She is also one of our authors from Through the Sunshine and has Submitted a story for Nightmare Whispers.
What do you do for fun? Hobbies? I paint in oils and sculpt in wire, bake, I read everything and crochet.
What or who got you started? I can’t remember when I started creating. I come from a family of creators. But Debbie at Sacred Rebels convinced me to try and put my work into the world.
Have you ever suffered with writer’s block? If so how do you deal with it? Often. I manage by immersing myself in something different until I get itchy to write again.
Do you have family or pets you want to share with us? I am a mother and grandmother
We look forward to seeing more from this talented and wonderful author.
Meet Children’s author, poet, and General Creative Christine Bialczak.
Christine Bialczak was born on November 2, 1971 and was raised in Connecticut. She has been a Special Education teacher and hopes to move into an administrative position utilizing her Administrator certificate. Her family means the most to her. Christine will always remember the support she received from her late husband Bob, her son Joseph, who passed on way too early, and Lindsay, her rock, her best friend, and her daughter. Christine also has support from David, from her other family members, from past and current coworkers/teachers, and from friends. Her goal is to introduce characters that enrich children’s lives and ignite a fire to learn more, increase knowledge of the world around, and be creative. Christine is an animal lover. She has owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, cockatiels, chickens, roosters, and tropical fish. She loves to travel and learn about other cultures, sews, draws, designs jewelry, cooks, and has many other interests. The Penelope series was inspired by the birth of her great-niece Penelope, having written the first book on the night Penelope was born. The Joey series was inspired by her son who was so brilliant, so kind, and such a special person to everyone that knew him. Christine can’t wait to interact with her readers through various series, poetry, and other publications.
Ok, I was lapse this week. Cyndi usually does other things and leaves the blog up to me…My notes are a mess and she couldn’t do the author spotlight for me. I was not well and ended up being unable to give either blog the attention it needed. I apologize and have decided to try to do some posts ahead so that these go up when they are supposed to, whether I feel good or not.
So here is the schedule for the author spotlights and such: On August 20 We will be featuring Christine Bialczak. On August 27 we will feature K.T. Seto (who was in Through the Sunshine but I am not finding on the blog…probably me being absent minded.) On September 3 We will feature Melissa Ball On September 10 we will be taking a short break from the author spotlights to announce the authors in the two anthologies that we are currently taking submissions for. The deadline is August 31 so the tenth gives us time to sort the incoming submissions to determine who will be in the anthologies.
We will be returning to the author spotlights after that, as I have 3 more on my list (Susan Eaton, Janean McBreaty, & George Latimer). However, I also will be doing author spotlights for the authors in Fae Dreams and Nightmare Whispers.
If you are interested in being featured here then fill out the questionnaire and I will slip you into the queue. Also, remember the deadline for Fae Dreams and Nightmare Whispers is fast approaching. We are rather pleased with the submissions received so far.
In the last week or so we have received quite a few author spotlight requests. Normally I would try to do them as soon as I get them, but it is too many at once. So I am going to start scheduling them on Thursday. Please check here and take a serious look at the authors we have to showcase.
We are so thrilled that Michael has joined us again. He has been with us for everything we have done so far, both Faery Footprints and Under the Mists. His writing is definitely worth the read.
Michael Walters currently lives in northern New York where he teaches robotics and physics at a local university. He publishes a haiku a day on his blog to keep his creative side active while doing all that heavy science. He has plans to release his first novel, Fallen From Mercy in October 2019, if his cats let him.
So… I am finally back on track. Today I am going to introduce the amazing KT Seto.

Serena has been a constant in our anthologies so far. She wrote a story for Under The Mists and poetry for Faery Footprints. We are so happy to present Serena again.
Serena Mossgraves is a twisted faery with the urge to scare the unwitting reader. Her dark tales of nightmares excite the unwary. She has been seen prowling around looking for new tales to twist and share. She is an avid reader who has always enjoyed the more gothic settings. If you are not afraid to seek her out she is on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/serenitysfall and will gladly visit with you there.
Ok, so I was trying to do that author list in the same order. I got distracted, and ended up oopsing. I missed our own Cyndi and Serena. I aim to fix that quickly. Today we introduce our very own Cyndi.
