Christine Webb lives in Swanley with her cat, Henry, who is more a distraction than an inspiration. She started writing fiction when she took early retirement to stop her brain from vegetating. She enjoys writing short stories to sell because she likes the challenge of trying to write for a particular market. She also enjoys writing novels as it gives her the chance to develop plot and characters in much greater depth and has recently revived an interest in writing poetry.

She has been a member of The Write Place since it started but she first attended creative writing classes run by Elaine for Kent Adult Education in 2007, having previously attended an adult education class in Sevenoaks. She has attended both the Novel Writing and the Write To Be Published class.Christine has had several short stories published in The Weekly News, one of which was also published in Allas, a Swedish women's magazine. She has also sold a story to That's Life Fast Fiction in Australia. She has achieved success in Writers' News competitions with two stories being shortlisted and another achieving 2nd place. She has also been placed in competitions run by The Write Place for short stories and poetry and had a poem shortlisted in the humorous poetry section of the 2010 Marple Poetry Competition. In February 2011 she had a short story published in the anthology Diamonds and Pearls and in November 2011, a ghost story included in the Kindle anthology Things That Go Bump In the Night.

Christine submitted a novel to the Romantic Novelists Association's new writer scheme in 2010 and intends to do further revisions to this now she has received the report on her work. She is currently revising an earlier novel, as well as continuing to write short stories and poems for magazines and competitions. In November 2010 she completed the NaNoWriMo challenge to write 50,000 words in a month. Christine would love to have a novel published that would give her readers as much enjoyment as her own favourite authors.
