Christine Blevins

Hello!

I am an author who writes what I love to read – historical adventure stories. My debut novel MIDWIFE OF THE BLUE RIDGE (August 2008) takes the reader to the wilds of 18th century colonial America. This story was inspired by information unearthed researching family history.

My latest release, THE TORY WIDOW (April 2009) begins in 1775 in New York City at the eve of rebellion, and is the result of a lifelong fascination with the foundations of American history and the revolutionary spirit.

Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I now live in Elmhurst Illinois, with my husband Brian, the the younger two of our four children, and the Dude, our very silly golden-doodle. I am feverishly at work on the second novel in my revolutionary
