About

Christina G. (Christie) Waldman grew up in Monticello, Illinois, just a few blocks from the town library. Her lifelong interest in the Shakespeare authorship question began around 1980. She received a B.A. in history with honors (minor in classics) from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale ("SIU-C") in 1982 and a J.D. from SIU-C School of Law (now the "Simmons School of Law") in 1985. She first drafted the story that became "The Voice of the Wooden Dragon" in the summer of 1983. She has--at various times--home-schooled her three now-grown children, practiced law in New York State, and written for legal publishers. Besides the Authors Guild, she is currently a member of the Selden Society, Francis Bacon Society, and SCBWI.
