Welcome
        .....from historical inspirational romance author Christine Johnson.



My first book, Chasing the Horizon, is due out from Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historical in November 2010!  Known as The Aviatrix during its contest run, it tells the story of a young woman anxious to prove her mettle in the early years of aviation.  Long before Amelia Earhart, scores of women risked life and reputation to take to the air.  Darcy Shea is one of them.   


News & Notes:

• The Call!  Yes, the moment every unpublished writer dreams about came true on October 16th when Steeple Hill contacted me about The Aviatrix.  I whooped out loud; I laughed; I cried.  Read all about the moment this Saturday, October 31, on the Romance Writers on the Journey blog.
• I'm so excited to announce that The Aviatrix has placed 2nd in the Inspirational category of the 2009 Maggie Awards.
• Adding to the fun, The Aviatrix also placed first in the 2009 Romance Through the Ages contest.
• Great news!  The Aviatrix placed first in the 2009 Fool for Love contest in the Inspirational category.  
• Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Romance Writers on the Journey blog on March 19th.  It was a pleasure to meet you and to share your words of inspiration and wisdom.
