In April of 2008, I sat down with novelist Christine Kling to discuss her novels and the writing process. Christine was very generous with her time and we spent over ah hour talking in front of the camera. In Part I we talk about her life, her books, and the writing process.
Part II continues with the issues of writing and the publishing industry.

Christine was born in Missoula, Montana, and grew up in Southern California in the 1960's. After high school, she spent a year in France as a foreign exchange student. Early on she wrote and published magazine stories about her adventures including riding a bicycle 1,000 miles down the newly opened Baja California highway and crewing on a 44-foot sailboat throughout the islands of the South Pacific to New Zealand and back. In 1984, Christine and her husband sailed to Florida where they settled, three months before the birth of their son. They lived aboard their boat on the Intracoastal Waterway and on canals off the New River. In 1993, Christine and her family took off sailing once again and spent two years cruising the waters of the Caribbean. It was during this voyage that she started her first novel, SURFACE TENSION. She has since published three other novels featuring the character Seychelle Sullivan: CROSS CURRENT, BITTER END, and WRECKERS' KEY. She is currently working on a stand alone novel entitled: FAULTY INTELLIGENCE. Christine lives alone aboard her 33' Caliber sailboat, TALESPINNER on a canal just off Fort Lauderdale's New River.
